CHEM 2411L ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I Fall 2006 Section 02: Tuesday TLC 3107 |
Dr. Ray TLC 2-123 Office Hours: MWF: T |
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 observations; 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. If prelab questions are assigned, complete the answers and
turn in at the beginning of the lab. It is important that you understand the theory
and procedure of the experiment.
During the lab: Most labs are to be performed individually. In some labs you may
be instructed to work with a partner. 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 into 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%
Note: Extra credit is not allowed for this
class, and work competed for another class will not be accepted in this
class.
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).
All
communications outside of class should be via campus mail (myUWG),
and you are expected to check your mail regularly.
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.
