Welcome to OSU for Spring Semester, 2015

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 
http://undergrad-ed.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/genchem/1210lab for your 
course syllabus  - click on "TA assignment list with Emails (and Syllabi 
Links)"

*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.*

Carmen should be activated (if not email sutherland.118 at osu.edu). 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.

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).

IF YOU FAIL TO ATTEND THE FIRST LAB SESSON - CONTACT THE GENERAL 
CHEMISTRY OFFICE
(GC_OFFICE at CHEMISTRY.OHIO-STATE.EDU) 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.

IMPORTANT

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.)

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.

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: 
http://chemunder.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/courses/bookstoreslist.pdf

Info on notebooks: 
http://undergrad-ed.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/labnotebook/index.html

Info on reports: 
http://undergrad-ed.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/labreports/index.html

You will receive another email describing the online prelabs and 
post-lab data entry within a week.

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.

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.

Regards,
Dr. Robert J. Zellmer
