Many of you are new to Chemistry here at OSU and I've received<br>
a few e-mails wondering about the notebook.<br>
<br>
<font size="2"><big>For your notebooks you should be using PEN and
all<br>
data and information taken during lab should be in the<br>
notebook and not the manual or another sheet of paper<br>
Do NOT write anything that should be in the notebook<br>
in the manual or on another paper, even if you intend to<br>
copy it to the notebook before leaving lab. That is not<br>
allowed. Any information taken during lab that is<br>
pertinent to the lab goes directly in the notebook.<br>
<br>
Look at the following links:<br>

Lab Notebook Exercise - Guidelines for Lab Notebooks</b></a><br>

Suggestions for Writing a Notebook Procedure</b></a> <br>
<br>
The second link is actually an example using exp 14. While you<br>
don't do exp 14 in 1210 you can see what it should look like.<br>
Note how I use short concise easy to follow steps rather than
full<br>
sentence form. This is much easier to follow.<br>
</big></font><br>
<font size="2"><big><font size="2"><big>You MUST sign and date each
page and have the TA sign and date<br>
the pages and you give your carbon pages to the TA before
leaving lab.<br>
If you do not do this you will have to repeat the exp. If
you haven't<br>
finished the experiment let the TA know before leaving lab.
They<br>
will still sign your pages (marking incomplete on the last
page) and<br>
you will still turn in the carbons.<br>
<br>
You will NOT be allowed to begin the experiment without
first having<br>
the procedure written in your notebook.<br>
<br>
</big></font><br>
Your reports can be typed but don't have to be. However,<br>
they should be in PEN. Do NOT use pencil.<br>
<br>
If you make a mistake in the notebook or report simply<br>
put a single line through the mistake and write the correct<br>
number, unit, etc. next to the data crossed out. Do NOT<br>
erase. Do not scribble over the mistake. Do NOT use whiteout.<br>
<br>
We will deduct points for these things.<br>
<br>
I will follow this up with more about exp 1.<br>
