Attendance

Out of respect for the instructor and fellow students, please be on time to class. If you miss the prelab lecture, you will be asked to leave the lab. Attendance will be verbally recorded for the first two weeks of the semester. If you are not attending this class during this time, you will be automatically dropped from the course, per SPC regulations. For the benefit of other students, please refrain from coming to class ill. Missed labs cannot be made up, but the lowest grade for one laboratory report will be dropped.

At the 60% mark of the semester, if you have missed or have failed to submit reports from three or more lab meetings, you will fail to meet my criteria for active participation and will be withdrawn and given a “WF” for the course. After the 60% mark you will receive an “F” for the course. The college-wide attendance policy is included in the “Addendum to the Syllabus”, which should be read at the following web address: http://www.spcollege.edu/addendum/.

Faculty must file lack of attendance reports (exceeding 2 absences) for veterans, dual-enrolled, Early College and Collegiate High School students.

Faculty members are unable to withdraw a student from their course. If a student wishes to withdraw from this class before the final date set for withdrawals, this student must initiate a W online. Failure to withdraw from a class before the set date, June 14, 2018, will result in an “F” or “WF” for the course. If a student withdraws from the lecture class, the student must also withdraw from the co-requisite 2046 lab. Please see me before withdrawing from the class.

Course Goals and Objectives

CHM 2046L includes dealing with kinetics, acid-base and solubility equilibria, selected reactions of metals and nonmetals, and qualitative elemental analysis laboratory experiments, which are quantitative in nature and designed to give practice in acceptable laboratory techniques. The class is designed for students who have a good understanding of the concepts presented in CHM 2045L. The sequence of CHM 2045L and CHM 2046L is designed to meet first-year college chemistry requirements for science majors and engineering students.

Safety

1. Lab Dress Code:

• Shoes, not sandals or open shoes, are required in the lab at all times.

• Due to the probable spillage of water and the floor becoming slippery, rubber

soled shoes, such as tennis shoes, are best.

• Shorts or skirts will not be worn. They will not keep solutions from splattering

on your legs. Blue jeans may be the best type of lab wear.

• Belly-button policy: Shirts that expose your midriff are not permitted in lab. The

bench top is near your waist level, so spills there will be common. A buttoned lab coat covering the midriff is acceptable.

• Safety goggles are required at all times in the lab.

• If you are wearing contact lenses in the lab, you must notify the instructor in case of an accident.

• Prescription glasses are acceptable with safety goggles.

Penalties:

• First violation - you will be sent to change your clothes to come under compliance.

• Second violation – you will receive a zero for that lab.

• Safety glasses – students not wearing safety glasses while inside the laboratory will be asked to leave the lab and will receive a zero for the current experiment.

2. Broken glass must be disposed of in the appropriate container; notify instructor in the event of broken glassware.

Before Laboratory Class

1. The experiment must be read prior to coming to lab. Pay particular attention to the safety precautions.

2. Write a detailed procedure for the experiment in your laboratory notebook. The procedure should be detailed enough so that you can perform the experiment without consulting the lab manual.

3. Complete the Advance Study Assignment (ASA) in the laboratory manual.

4. There is an online pre-lab reading quiz to make sure you have an understanding of the general lab concepts before coming to lab. The quiz will close 3 hrs. before lab. Each quiz is worth 10 points.

5. The previous week’s lab experiment report (including ASA) must be turned in at the beginning of the lab period. Late lab reports will be accepted up to 1 week late with a 10 point penalty.

During Laboratory Class

You must strictly adhere to the dress code.

Electronic Communications Devices: Cell phones must be turned off or in vibrate mode and put away during lab.

1. Have the procedure and ASA acknowledged with a stamp before beginning the lab.

2. A short lab lecture will be given to explain various experimental considerations. It is your responsibility to ask questions about any procedures that you do not understand.

3. Safety goggles must be worn at all times while in the laboratory. Even if you are finished the lab, other students may still be working with dangerous chemicals. Prescriptions glasses or sunglasses are not considered safety goggles.

4. All data are collected in your laboratory notebook. You must record experimental data directly in your laboratory notebook as well as on the report sheet from the laboratory manual. All data must be recorded using pens and NOT pencils. If a correction needs to be made, simply draw a single line through it and write the corrected information above or below it. Under no circumstances, should white out be used.

5. Most experiments will be worked with a partner. Please work with the person sitting NEXT to you. No more than two people are to work together at one time unless I approve it. All calculations, conclusions, and other report answers are to be done independently of your partner or anyone else. Students MAY NOT SHARE answers, conclusions, or results. Sharing and copying work is considered cheating. (See SPC Student Handbook for information on this subject.)

6. After completing your experiment, your equipment should be cleaned and returned. Your lab bench must be clean.

7. Before leaving the lab, you should have your data and notebook acknowledged with a stamp. When you turn in your lab report, it will be stamped with the received date. Lab reports that do not have both the acknowledgement and received stamps will not be given credit.

Grading

Each laboratory report (including the ASA) is worth 100 points (800 points total after the lowest report dropped). The prelab quizzes are worth 10 points each (80 points total after the lowest one dropped). The safety quiz is worth 100 points. Each entry in the lab notebook counts as 10 points (80 points total with one dropped). There is a final lab quiz, which is worth 100 points.

The following is the point distribution for this course:

Category	Points
Safety Quiz	100
Prelabs	80
Lab Reports	800
Laboratory Notebook	80
Final Quiz	100

Your laboratory reports, quizzes, and notebook will be totaled to determine your final grade using the following scale:

1,044 – 1,160 points (90% and above) A

928 – 1,043 points (80%-89%) B

812 – 927 points (70%-79%) C

696 – 813 points (60%-69%) D

<696 points (Below 60%) F

Academic Honesty

If you are caught cheating on a laboratory report or the practical, I will recommend you receive a “WF” for the course. Cheating and plagiarizing does not benefit you or your classmates. Please refer to your Supplement to the Faculty, Staff and Student Handbook, page 15 (or online at http://www.spcollege.edu/academichonesty/) for a definition of cheating and plagiarism. There is no tolerance for cheating and academic dishonesty.

No cell phones, iPods, or other electronic devices except a NON-GRAPHING calculator may be used for the practical. Students caught looking at or using such devices during the practical will be considered cheating. Also, taking pictures of or copying questions from any exam will also be consider cheating. Exam and quiz questions along with periodic tables must be turned in with answer sheets.

Class Participation and Etiquette

Please turn off cellular telephones, iPods and other electronic devices prior to entering class! All notes should be taken in you laboratory notebook. Please stay on task. If you cannot stay on task, I reserve the right to excuse you from the laboratory.

Special Accommodations

If you wish to receive special accommodations as a student with a documented disability, please make an appointment with Elizabeth Shumate at 727-712-5789. If you have a documented hearing loss, please contact the Program for the Deaf at 727-791-2628 (V/TDD). If you will need assistance during an emergency classroom evacuation, it is imperative that you speak with Elizabeth Shumate immediately about arrangements for your safety.
