From weaver.646 at osu.edu Fri Sep 2 18:07:08 2022 From: weaver.646 at osu.edu (Weaver, Tyler) Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2022 22:07:08 +0000 Subject: [Preplabstudents] Week 3 Message-ID: <741F91EA-51AD-47DE-9978-8C5C09A8F70B@osu.edu> Hi Everyone, Happy Friday! We are entering a phase in which the Monday labs will be VERY out of sync with the rest of the week. This can be challenging for all of us, so please be sure to check the grand syllabus, attached and posted everywhere, to make sure you are distributing the correct materials. 1220 will be working on FPD. They will need lots of ice and salt, please keep an eye on these. Two ice coolers is a good place to start. When exchanging freezing point apparatuses for BUCK-IDs please place the ID in the slot you got the apparatus from. This will help you ensure the correct ID is returned to the student. Monday is a university holiday. The Prep Lab will be closed, and you should not log any hours on Monday. I still desperately need help on Friday mornings anytime between 7:30 am and noon. There are small white carts outside of the window rooms. These are for holding the food and beverages that belong to the people in the window. Nothing other than food and beverages should be placed on these carts. Please be sure to lock any rooms that are not in use. Please note that the daily sheet assignments will not always be consistent. I am trying to move everyone around so that we all have a chance to gain more experience with each task. Remember that when you are on the clock, your first priority should be scheduled tasks and any non-scheduled tasks requested by the staff. I always try to keep a couple of students available downstairs in case we have an unplanned absence or urgent need for assistance. Let us know if you are going to leave for a minute to get coffee/lunch etc. You do not need to tell us when you are going to the restroom. We will be changing the room readiness checklists. More than just a checkmark will be required, see the new page for more info.

Some individuals entered our lab rooms while classes were occurring and made inappropriate comments. The OSU police have their description and are investigating further. This is a good time to remind everyone that labs which are not in use should be locked up. If you see something that makes you uncomfortable, let your supervisor know immediately. Please consider saving the OSU police phone number in your phone: 614-292-2121. Myself and the rest of the Gen Chem staff are here to support you. Our goal is to create and maintain a safe and productive work and learning environment. Please let me know if you would like to chat.

We will be wrapping up CPC on Monday, please be sure to check the distillation apparatus (the water level in the heating flask and adding ice to the bucket) every 30-45 minutes. Please remember that headphone use is never permitted when on the clock. You should also not be watching video/TV on the clock. Homework/studying/reading is acceptable. Lab coats should be stored in large zip top bags. Please do not store your lab coats inside your bin unless they are bagged. We?ve had some additional lab coat sizes come in, if you need a different size, please let me know. Please let me know if you have any questions. I will be sending out information on the prep lab guidebook acknowledgement/quiz soon. If you have not set aside some time to finish reading the guidebook, please do so. This is considered paid time (for those that fill out timesheets).

When completing a Cart Change please do not change the position of the carts. The window folks should have already moved them into the correct location. We are working on getting additional lab keys, OSU changed their key policies and it got weird. You may have noticed we added a lock/unlock lab room task on the daily sheet. Note that in most cases this task does not include a lab readiness check. Our goal is to get the rooms unlocked and ready for the TAs to enter in a timely manner. If you are expected to both unlock/lock lab rooms and do a lab readiness check, you will be listed under both tasks. The 7:30 unlocking task will also always include unlocking the window for the assigned floor. As always, please let us know if you have any questions.

Looking for more hours? We still need some help during the following time slots: Monday 7:30am-9am Tuesday 6pm-10pm Wednesday 7:30am-9am Wednesday 3pm-6pm Friday 7:30am-11am We have several window reminders: * Be sure to complete any necessary cart moves during your shift. Look at the daily sheet or cart move sheets to see if any cart moves are required. * Be sure to check the daily sheet or cart move sheet when determining which moves to make. Some may not be obvious just looking at the lab map. * The keys to the spectrometer cabinets are in the windows. They are silver. One of the two silver keys should work for any mobile cabinet you need to open. * The equipment for the upcoming experiment is stored on the large steel shelf in the back of each window or on the bench. Alec put up some signage with red lettering. If you need something for a new experiment and can?t find it, check the shelf and bench first. The online Prep Lab Guidebook Acknowledgement/Quiz is now available on the Prep Lab Forum. Please complete this by the end of the month. Please also double check the Prep Lab Forum to see if you have any outstanding ?assignments.? Complete any outstanding assignments as soon as you are able. Again, time spent completing these is paid time for those that submit timesheets. Finally, I want to everyone to know that I?m seeing great progress. We have come a long way in about a month. Let?s keep up the good work!

You must complete this training and upload your completion certificate to the Prep Lab Forum no later than October 16th. https://osu.instructure.com/courses/49925/assignments/3079033?module_item_id=9050028 Waste Collection Alec would like to remind everyone that unless you are doing the last waste run for the week, you only need to swap containers that are at least half full. Cart Moves Please be sure to check the mini version of the Daily Sheet on the clipboard at the window, or the laminated cart move sheets, to determine if you need to do any cart moves while working in the window. Glove Run If you run out of supplies while completing a task, please simply return to 130 CE to obtain more. If you need additional gloves and the shelves are empty, let us know. We have a stash in another location. Week 6 Info 1210- LLT: When doing cart checks please just add more lemon and lime juice to the cart. The partial bottles can remain on the cart. Empty bottles can be thrown in the trash. We will be adding a task to the Daily Sheet for this lab, ?CHECK LLT CARBOY- REPLACE IF LESS THAN 1/2 FULL?. All you need to do is check that the blue square carboy is at least half full. If not, it should be swapped. 1220- LCP: We will be placing buckets of salt beside the ice cooler. Extra salt buckets will be in the window. Swap emptied buckets for the filled ones downstairs. 1610- IHT: Foam cups will need to be replaced after each lab. Let us know if you need additional cups.
