Read these important items.  You will be held accountable for them.

bulletEach laboratory instructor will establish grading policy and set due dates for experiments for their section.  
Late experiments will be drastically penalized:  one day late = -10%, one week late = - 50%, more than one week late = -100%.  
bullet You must complete all labs (even if they are too late to earn points) to pass the course.  A complete lab includes all data collected and recorded properly, all calculations, graphs and discussion questions completed, and a satisfactory report submitted to the lab instructor.
bulletStockroom procedures: How to check-in/out, how to get equipment and other very important information.
Important Notice:  All students will be assigned a locker drawer that will be shared with a partner this semester.  Students will need a lock that both partners can open.
bulletIntroduction: How to keep a lab notebook and some safety issues. LAB REPORT MODEL
bulletSafety check-list, You must read this and give a written statement that you have read it to your lab instructor or to the Stockroom, as directed.
bulletSafe use of Acids and Bases
