The major purpose of the organic laboratory course is to teach laboratory techniques for manipulating organic chemicals and carrying out organic syntheses. Additionally, spectroscopic techniques will be studied because they are used for identifying and characterizing organic compounds. Separation and purification techniques will have to be mastered in order to eliminate unwanted side products, excess reagents, or solvent from the desired product. The laboratory work will require the student to use more sophisticated glassware and techniques than used in general chemistry. Laboratory safety and the proper care of glassware and instruments will be discussed. The student will be required to keep a laboratory notebook in order to teach:
- collection and recording of data and observations
- percent yield calculations
- the drawing of conclusions based on data
The laboratory experience will help to reinforce.
- working safely
- working efficiently (managing time)
- problem solving (at the bench top and on paper)
- thinking like a chemist
SAFETY GOGGLES WILL BE REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES.
DISCARD LABORATORY WASTE AS INSTRUCTED
ATTENDANCE
Attendance is expected. An explanation for any absence or tardy is to be reported by E-mail. This will enable the instructor to have a written record. The E-mail address is BOONEJR; the subject is Organic Absence or Tardy (date). Tardies may result in points off. Class attendance is required according to the Universitys Catalog.
Tests or work missed due to unexcused and unjustifiable absences cannot be made up. (e.g. working, sleeping, “big date”)
Tests or work missed due to excused absences may be made up for full credit. (e.g. illness with a doctor’s excuse, death in the immediate family)
Tests or work missed due to unexcused but justifiable absences may be made up but for less than full credit. (e.g. interview for a professional school)
The instructor will have to decide how a missed test or work is to be made up.
Tardiness is a form of absenteeism and it will be treated as such.
Absences from daily quizzes or work cannot be made up since to some degree they measure attendance and class participation.
In laboratory courses or courses with a laboratory, failure to do two or more laboratory exercises will result in a final grade of F for the course regardless of the overall course average.
A students final average cannot behigher than his percent attendance.
The class will be conducted according to Lipscomb’s Academic Honor Code and students will be requested to sign the pledge: “On my honor as a gentleman/lady, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this examination/assignment and if I have observed such actions, I will follow the prescribed honor code procedures.”
