MEDICAL INSURANCE COVERAGE: Due to the potentially dangerous nature of laboratory work, you are reminded to maintain
medical insurance coverage through OSU health service or a private agency when enrolling in Chemistry laboratory courses.
ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT: Any material submitted in General Chemistry must represent your own work. Apparent violations of this
standard will be referred to the University Committee of Academic Misconduct (COAM) as required by Faculty Rules. Please read the
attached statement on Standards of Academic Conduct carefully and take the quiz in Carmen.
IF YOU FAIL TO ATTEND THE FIRST LAB SESSION - CHECK IN AT 100 CE WITHOUT DELAY
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY: Each student receives this information in the first lecture section. It is your responsibility to
read this material and be familiar with the course content, procedures, and grading. You are also responsible for any
announcements concerning course procedures which are made in class, whether you are present or not! (If you are absent, you
are expected to get notes, announcements, etc. from another student in the class.)
GRADING: Your performance in the course will be evaluated on the basis of total points earned. There is NO extra credit.
The distribution of points is as follows:
Quizzes 150
Laboratory 200 ◄ A minimum of 50% of the total lab points is required to pass the course.
Midterm I 175
Midterm II 175
Final 300
Total 1000 pts.
QUIZZES: Will be given in recitation in the weeks indicated on the front of the syllabus. There are NO make-up quizzes but
you are allowed to miss one quiz without receiving a penalty or needing permission from your instructor. If you take all of the
quizzes, your lowest quiz score will be dropped. ALWAYS SHOW YOUR WORK ON QUIZZES to receive full credit. Bring
your approved calculator to quizzes and exams. Calculator covers must be removed and put away.
MIDTERM EXAMS: These exams are given only at the times shown on the Schedule of Assignments. Make-up exams will
be given only in the last week of regularly scheduled classes for medical reasons (documented) or a preapproved university
conflict. Exams are a scheduled part of this course and attendance is required (exam location is based on lab section). Students
with University conflicts should consult the lecturer. Answers will be posted.
FINAL EXAM: The final exam must be taken at the University scheduled time. OSU ID cards will be collected at the final
exam. Final exams will not be returned.
LABORATORY: Consists of one 3-hour session per week; YOU MAY WORK IN THE LABORATORY ONLY DURING
YOUR SCHEDULED LABORATORY PERIOD! Any time remaining in a lab period and the last lab (checkout) period can be
used to complete a previous experiment - discuss this with your TA first. A minimum of 50% of the total lab points are
necessary for a passing grade in the course.
LABORATORY NOTEBOOKS: Will be graded. You are required to use the Student Lab Notebook, and record all entries in
ink. Record procedures followed, observations made and data collected, calculations, and results. The notebook should be
sufficiently neat and organized so that another person can follow what you did. At the end of each lab, sign your data pages and
submit the copies to your lab instructor in order to receive credit for the lab.
LABORATORY REPORTS: are normally due at the beginning of the lab session ONE week after the completion of the
experiment. Late reports (even if on the same day) will be penalized 10% per day. If you submit a late report to 100 CE, you
must notify your TA by email within one day after submission. NO credit will be given after 2 weeks or past the due dates
shown on the first page. If you do not check-out, you will receive a zero for your last lab report. The lab score will be
factored to 200 points. Photocopies of the report sheets are not acceptable.
LABORATORY SAFETY REQUIREMENTS: Students are required to read, understand, and implement the safety
precautions indicated in the laboratory manual and laboratory handouts. The precautions are summarized on a safety form
which must be signed by all students during their first laboratory period. The following are selected instructions from the safety
form:
1. You must wear Department-authorized ANSI code goggles in the laboratory. Goggles will be issued during check-in. After
the first free pair, goggles may be borrowed, if available, from CE 231 or 331; otherwise, they must be purchased from CE
180. Not wearing goggles will result in the loss of 10% of the grade for the experiment. For any subsequent violation, an
additional loss of 10% of the grade will result. Continued violations may result in dismissal from the course. The wearing of
contact lenses is NOT recommended.
2. Each student must adequate clothing to reduce the possibility of injury from chemicals or broken glass. Students who wear
sandals or shorts will be sent home – NO make-up time will be provided.
3. Familiarize yourself with the location of the fire blanket, fire extinguisher, and eye wash in the laboratory.
4. Promptly report all accidents, no matter how small, to your lab instructor.
5. Your work area should be cleaned before you leave lab. After putting your equipment away, wipe down your work area with
a wet sponge or towel. This ensures that you, and other students who use the space, will not be harmed by chemicals left on
the desktop. Also clean up spills in the balance room by brushing chemicals into a weighing dish.
6. No unauthorized experiments are allowed. No chemicals may be removed from the lab.
HOMEWORK: Homework will not be graded; however, doing assigned problems is often the best way to determine how well
you understand the material.
OFFICE HOURS: I will be available in my office Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:30-10:45am and 12:30-1:30pm.
ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE
1. Lab Supervisor - Dr. Tatz (rjtatz@chemistry.ohio-state.edu, 292-8096, 280D CE) will help with lab problems.
2. Extra copies of course handouts are available in the General Chemistry Office, 100 Celeste Lab.
3. You are strongly encouraged to make use of the Learning Resource Center (160 CE) frequently.
4. All students with documented disabilities, who need accommodations, should see the instructor privately to schedule an
appointment as early as possible. If your disability requires materials in alternative formats, please contact the Office for
Disability Services at 292-3307, Room 150 Pomerene Hall.

Goals/Rationale: Courses in natural sciences foster an understanding of the principles, theories and methods of modern science,
the relationship between science and technology, and the effects of science and technology on the environment.
Learning Objectives:
1. Students understand the basic facts, principles, theories and methods of modern science.
2. Students learn key events in the history of science.
3. Students provide examples of the inter-dependence of scientific and technological developments.
4. Students discuss social and philosophical implications of scientific discoveries and understand the potential of science and
technology to address problems of the contemporary world.
The 11th Edition of this text is supported by Mastering Chemistry. The access code was
included in the purchase of your textbook. All End of Chapter Exercises appear in
Mastering Chemistry. You will also find “Tutorials”. Tutorials walk you through concepts –
with very helpful hints. Think of them as one-on-one tutors available day or night. Former
students have found the tutorials to be VERY helpful. Set up an account and use this
