Procedures:
1.
A BOUND
LAB NOTEBOOK must be used to record all laboratory data in ink.
(a) NUMBER the pages and include a TABLE OF CONTENTS.
(b) Notebooks must be prepared before coming to the laboratory.
(c) Using the numbered right hand pages copy:
I.
The
title of the experiment.
II.
The
blank data pages or tables from the report sheet.
(d) Notebooks are graded randomly during Lab.
2. Each student is required to wear suitable
eye protection [GOGGLES OR SAFETY GLASSES]. Sunglasses are not acceptable. Lack
of eye protection will result in dismissal and an F grade for that
Laboratory.
3. There are no scheduled make up
laboratories. If a laboratory is missed consult your laboratory instructor as
soon as possible for a home assignment.
4. Laboratory reports consist of the
completed REPORT FORMS at the end of each experiment. Each report should begin
with a COVER SHEET containing one or two paragraphs of a neatly written or
typed introduction. The introduction should NOT be a procedure, but a summary
of the purpose of the experiment.
Reports are due one week after the completion of the experiment. Late
reports drop ten points per week.
