"Lab
Reports"
All data is to be recorded in bound
lab notebooks. All data reduction and answers to questions in lab writeups are
to be done in these notebooks. Copies of each notebook page constitute the lab
"report" and are to be turned in within one week after the experiment
is performed, along with the completed data sheets in the experiment writeups.
When you registered for this course,
you were charged a non-refundable lab fee of $50 that defrays some of the cost
of the chemicals and supplies that you use during the term, including waste
disposal. In addition, all glassware and small equipment is covered by breakage
insurance. If the replacement cost of a broken or lost item exceeds $5.00, the
item is covered with a $5.00 deductible. In some cases, the item may be made up
of several breakable parts and the cost will be assessed on a per-part basis.
If the cost of the replacement is less than $5.00, you will pay the replacement
cost. Each student must also supply himself with approved safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields and a disposable lab coat prior to beginning
work in the third week.
