CHEM 2411L ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I Fall 2006 |
Dr. David Boatright TLC 2-118 dboatrig@westga.edu Office Hours: MW 10-12, 1-2 T 11-12, 1-3 R 11-12, 1-2 |
Course
Material:
·
Textbook:
Macroscale and Microscale
Organic Experiments, Williamson,
Fifth Edition.
·
Safety glasses are required to be worn
at all times and can be purchased ($5) the first day of lab or from Mr. Billy
Harper (TLC 2129).
·
A notebook to take notes during the
pre-lab lecture and record laboratory data.
Objectives: To apply the knowledge
obtained in Chem 2411 lecture to problem solving in
the laboratory. To develop good laboratory techniques; work safely; take data
carefully; record relevant observation; use time effectively; assess the
efficiency of your experimental method; plan for the isolation and purification
of substances you prepare; and characterize substances you prepare by physical
and spectroscopic means and synthesize organic
substances.
Tardiness / Missed Lab: Lab attendance is
mandatory. Unexcused absences will result in a grade of zero. No make-up labs
will be permitted. At the beginning of each laboratory we will discuss the
laboratory. You must be present. Lateness will be penalized by deduction from
the grade for that lab.
Preparation
for Each Lab:
The labs will require preparation and careful work to complete in the allotted
time. Read all laboratory material before coming to lab. It is important that
you understand the theory and procedure of the experiment. See the Schedule for
the next lab material.
During the lab:
Most labs are to be performed individually. In some labs you may be
instructed to work in a pair. Record all data and
observations in your notebook. Use non-erasable ink, and never
use white out. After completion of the
experiment, fill the lab data-sheets (where appropriate) in a legible, tidy
manner.
After the lab:
Clean up the lab space, clean the apparatus and put back to the drawer. Analyze
the results and write a conclusion.
Answer the assigned post-lab questions.
Reports: Laboratory reports and
answers to the post-lab questions are to be turned in one week after the lab is
completed. The format of these reports will vary: while the completed
data-sheet will be required for the majority of the labs, two formal reports will
be required for two labs. The answers to the post-lab questions must be typed on a separate sheet and submitted with the report/data sheets. Late reports will incur a 10% penalty for
each day the report is late.
Academic Misconduct: Honesty in reporting
results is one of the essential characteristics of your laboratory work. Little
of your grade depends on getting "good" quantitative results. You
will be more severely penalized for misrepresenting results than for honestly
reporting "poor" results. You may discuss the lab results with other
students, but you must complete all lab reports individually (even if you
worked with a partner). Copying lab reports (any part) shall be considered
academic misconduct, and as a result, will be penalized to the fullest extent
possible.
Grades
Instructor points: 5%,
Online Environmental Health & Safety test: 5%, Experiments: 70%,
Lab Final Exam: 20%
Instructor points: your instructor will assign points based upon
your efficiency, pre-lab preparation, cooperation, attitude, performance, and
cleanliness.
Online Environmental Health & Safety test: Please provide the
instructor with documented evidence that you have completed the following three
programs under http://www.usg.edu/ehs/training
by the second lab period.
1.
Basic
Awareness Training Program
2.
Chemical
Specific Training Program
3.
Hazardous
Waste Awareness Training Program
Grading Scale: 90-100 A, 80-89 B, 70-79 C, 60-69 D, <59 F
Please Note: CHEM 2411 (lecture class) is a co-requisite
for this lab class. This means that if
you drop the lecture class (CHEM 2411), you will automatically be dropped from
the lab (CHEM 2411L).
Learning Outcomes
1. To communicate organic chemistry with
clarity. Attainment of this learning
outcome will be reflected by the students’ abilities to:
Ø
Follow
oral and written instructions to successfully complete laboratory assignments.
Ø
Work
with other student in assigned group projects.
Ø
Write formal
laboratory report as chemists write.
2. Demonstration of a working knowledge of organic synthesis and
characterization by successfully completing laboratory assignments.
