Please come and see the instructor if there is a problem.
Co-requisites: Chemistry 320/321
Course objectives: The objectives of this course are to teach
basic organic laboratory technique and to provide experiences that will expand
and enhance the student's scientific background.
Required text: Zubrick, J.W. The
Organic Chem Lab Survival Manual, 6th ed.; 2002.
Required
materials:
Class Attendance: Attendance is required for all of the
laboratory classes. The class starts on
time and finishes on time. No makeup
labs are allowed after the experiment has been completed. Please observe the following:
Pre-labs: You are required to prepare a pre-lab before
each experiment. Your pre-lab work must
be completed before you enter the laboratory.
Writing a pre-lab ensures that you have an understanding of your tasks
during an experiment before you begin.
Ideally, the pre-lab should be thorough enough so that you can perform
the experiment from what you have written without needing to refer to the
handouts or to your book. The GTAs
collect a copy of the pre-lab along with your other notebook entries for the
day. You will not be allowed to perform
the lab unless the pre-lab is complete.
The pre-lab should consist of the completed pre-lab questions in your
handouts (collected at the beginning of class), and the following entries in
your notebook (carbons collected as you leave lab):
Lab
notebooks:
Lab reports: The due dates for lab reports are listed in
the class schedule accompanying the syllabus.
Lab reports must be turned in at the beginning of the pre-lab lecture
prior to entering the laboratory. Late
lab reports will never be accepted. No exceptions will be made.
Grading:
You will be graded on the basis of nine lab reports and one exam. Each report will be worth twenty points. The exam is scheduled at the end of the class
and will be worth forty points. Grades will
be assigned using the following scale:
90-100 = A; 80-89
= B; 70-79 = C; 60-69 = D;
0-59 = F.
Cheating: Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated in
this course. Do not, under any
circumstances, use fabricated data or data from another student. Fabrication of data is academic misconduct:
you will receive a grade of zero on the tainted work and will be reported to
the Chief Academic Officer of your academic unit.
Grievance
Procedures and Conduct of the Class: Any grievance about grading and/or conduct of
the class should be taken up first with the GTA. If there is still a problem, then the student
should talk with the Instructor. Further
comments and complaints should be addressed to the Chemistry Department Chair
only after the Instructor has been consulted.
This class will be conducted in compliance with UMKC's Affirmative
Action/Equal Opportunity and Sexual Harassment Policies (see UMKC General
Catalog).
Tentative
Schedule: This
schedule is tentative and subject to change during the course of the
semester. Any changes will be announced
in class. For lab handouts and other
information go to the class website: unofficial.umkc.edu/gounevt/Orgo320L/Organic.html
