You will be given a lecture presentation and supplementary handouts prior to each experiment.
Lecture attendance is required every week. If you miss a scheduled experiment you score zero for that experiment. If you miss a lecture you score zero for that lecture.
Your grade will be based strictly on your laboratory reports, two quizzes, lecture attendance and one extended write-up. Further details about the reports will be provided during Lab Lectures.
Each of the 8 labs is worth 20 points. You will be graded on your best 7 labs, and your lowest lab score is dropped. The two quizzes count 15 points each. The extended written lab report counts 10 points. You will receive 3 points for attendance at each of the 7 mandatory lectures. Your overall average semester percentage is (7 best lab scores + lecture score + quiz score + long write-up score)/2. .
If your semester average is at least 90% your final grade will be A.
If your semester average is 80-89% your final grade will be B.
If your semester average is 70-79% your final grade will be C.
If your semester average is 60-69% your final grade will be D.
If your semester average is below 60% your final grade will be F.
I reserve the right to give a higher grade than allowed by the above scheme.

Safety Requirements
The most important safety rule is that you must wear safety goggles or safety glasses at all times in the lab. Students without safety eyewear will be required to leave.
Familiarize yourself with the safety devices in the lab and their locations (fire extinguisher, eye wash and safety shower).
Do not work in the lab alone or without the supervision of your TA or instructor.
Unauthorized experiments are not allowed.
No eating, drinking or smoking is allowed in the lab.
Material Safety Data Sheets
Under the provision of the Texas Hazardous Communications Act, you have the right to examine Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) which provide essential data for any chemicals you may be using. The MSDSs are available upon request.
