Welcome to OSU for Spring Semester, 2015<br>
<br>
You are receiving this email because you are enrolled in a General
Chemistry course which has weekly labs. Spring Semester WILL START
January 12, which is a Monday. The following link is not ready at
this time - Check
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://undergrad-ed.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/genchem/1210lab">http://undergrad-ed.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/genchem/1210lab</a> for
your course syllabus - click on "TA assignment list with Emails
(and Syllabi Links)"<br>
<br>
<b>NOTE: You will be expected to perform experiment 1 during your
first lab session. There will be handouts THIS WEEK if you have
not purchased your books.</b><br>
<br>
Carmen should be activated (if not email <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:sutherland.118@osu.edu">sutherland.118@osu.edu</a>).
Please note that there is a required quiz (on Carmen) on Academic
Misconduct that must be completed in order to get credit for your
course. The due date is on Carmen.<br>
<br>
Please check your enrollment online since there may have been
changes to your assigned lab or recitation room. Students that are
currently enrolled will receive lab seating assignments during the
first week of classes. Unassigned lab seats will be given out on
Tuesday, January 20, starting at 8:00 AM (this is the only why to do
section changes or adds outside of Course Schedules on
buckeyelink.osu.edu).<br>
<br>
IF YOU FAIL TO ATTEND THE FIRST LAB SESSON - CONTACT THE GENERAL
CHEMISTRY OFFICE<br>
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:GC_OFFICE@CHEMISTRY.OHIO-STATE.EDU">GC_OFFICE@CHEMISTRY.OHIO-STATE.EDU</a>) IMMEDIATELY. (This also applies
to students who enroll AFTER the first lab has met). NOTE that you
are responsible for making up any missed work - NO extra make-up
time will be provided.<br>
<br>
IMPORTANT<br>
<br>
If you had Chemistry before on main campus, you should have safety
goggles. You will be expected to bring your goggles on the first day
of lab. Talk to your TA in lab if you do not have them. Students
who are taking a lab course on main campus for the first time (e.g.
Chem 1210) are given new safety goggles. You will be expected to
keep them for any following courses. (Do NOT buy goggles at the
bookstore - they are the wrong kind.)<br>
<br>
Each student must wear adequate clothing to reduce the possibility
of injury from chemicals or broken glass. Students who wear sandals
or shorts will be sent home - NO make-up time will be provided.<br>
<br>
You will be expected to perform a laboratory experiment during your
first lab session [Expt 1] (check the day that lab meets on your
schedule), so make sure you have your laboratory manual and a
properly prepared notebook - purchase at a bookstore:

<br>
Info on notebooks:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://undergrad-ed.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/labnotebook/index.html">http://undergrad-ed.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/labnotebook/index.html</a><br>
<br>

<br>
You will receive another email describing the online prelabs and
post-lab data entry within a week.<br>
<br>
Please check your syllabus for more details about lab policies.
Lab reports are due one week after completion (penalized 10% per
day). You must get 50% of total lab points to pass the course.<br>
<br>
Normally one missed or partial lab may be completed in your assigned
lab time when your other work is finished (just talk to your TA).
The lab period marked FCO (Finish/Check out) on your syllabus can
also be used to complete labs. You may contact me if you have
specific questions about completing labs.<br>
