Important Notices:

1. You will check-in, go over safety information, and begin an experiment on Monday August 18.

2. You must complete the Safety Quiz by 5 pm on Sunday August 17. The quiz can be found on Blackboard. You must earn a score of 18/20 points on this quiz before you will be allowed to check into your lab drawer.

3. Appropriate clothing (including long pants) and footwear (no open shoes, such as crocs or sandals) must be worn in all labs - this includes check-in and check-out. Laboratory coats and safety goggles will be available (unless you already have them) during Check-in for purchase from the Issue Room in GbAd 209 during your lab. Goggles and laboratory coats must be worn for the remainder of the term. You will be asked to leave the laboratory if you do not follow these rules - ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS!

4. If you check-in and then decide to drop the course, you are required to officially check-out of your lab drawer. Contact Kristi Edwards (Office: GbAd 006; Phone: 541-737-6769). Failure to do so will result in a charge of at least $55 to your personal account. Your lock will also be changed, so that an incoming student can have a locker. There will be no refund on these charges!

5. You will need to purchase a duplicate copy, bound laboratory notebook before you begin lab work. You will not be allowed to work in the lab without a proper laboratory notebook in which to record your data. Roaring Springs #77644 and #77650 are both acceptable lab notebooks and are sold on the main floor of the OSU Bookstore (not the textbook level).

6. The TAs perform all grading; however, any errors in grading must be brought to the attention of Margie Haak. Cautionary Note: I reserve the right to deduct additional points for errors that the TAs may have missed or misgraded.

7. "Specific Guidelines" (see below) for writing of the reports will be posted in .pdf format during the week that the actual experiment is performed.

8. I strongly advise you to check the laboratory website and your E-mail on a regular basis for updates, etc.

9. No late reports are allowed for this course!
