1) Missed first lab (exp 1). <br>
<br>
You should come see me as soon as possible.<br>
<br>
You have to watch two videos, the safety video (even if you did <br>
so in a previous chemistry course) and the video for exp 1. This <br>
will need to be done in 170 Celeste Lab. You then need to read and
<br>
sign off on the Safety Statement and take the Safety Quiz. This all
has <br>
to be done before your next lab period. <br>
<br>
2) Finishing exp 1 <br>
<br>
If you didn't do exp 1 last week or didn't finish it have your
notebook<br>
prepared to do exp 1 and exp 2.<br>
<br>
Exp 1 is easily done over more than one period (taking the temp. of
<br>
the water each time). This means you will need to leave some blank
<br>
pages between your write-ups for exp 1 and exp 2 in your notebook. <br>
Each week when you work on exp 1 you and your TA need to date<br>
and sign your notebook pages and you then turn them into the TA at<br>
the end of the period. <br>
<br>
Exp 2 shouldn't take the whole period. Finish it <b>first </b><b>before
</b>working <br>
on <b>exp 1</b>. <br>
<br>
The first review/quiz period begins the week of Jan 22. There will
be<br>
about 1 hour after the quiz to work on unfinished exps. If you
still don't<br>
finish you can continue working on unfinished exps during other
periods. <br>
<br>
Make sure you don't fall behind on another exp since it will then
become <br>
more difficult to catch up. Anytime you work on more than one exp
in a <br>
lab period you need to be really well prepared to make sure you can
get <br>
things done. Watching the lab videos ahead of time can help with
this (you <br>
still have to watch them during lab before starting the exp). <br>
<br>
Remember, exps 1-7 must be finished so the reports can be turned in
before <br>
the first report cutoff date of March 9 (March 12 for Monday labs),
see<br>
the syllabus. Normal late points apply if the reports are late by
that date. <br>
After that date those reports receive zero credit (you may not get a
full week<br>
to write a report or the late week to get it in). If you wind up
with a lot of exps<br>
to complete by this date w/o valid reasons for not having finished
them you will<br>
not be given extra time to do so. Unexcused absences or not being
prepared for<br>
lab are not valid reasons. <br>
<br>
As always, the report for any experiment is due 1 week after
completing the exp. <br>
This means at some point you may have two reports due in the same
period. <br>
<br>
I hope this helps. <br>
