OBJECTIVES (Skoog et al., 2004, p. xi)

1) To provide a thorough background on chemical principles that are important in Analytical Chemistry

2) To help students develop an appreciation for the difficult task of judging the accuracy and precision of experimental data

3) To show how these judgments can be sharpened by application of statistical methods

4) To introduce techniques that are useful in modern analytical chemistry

5) To help students develop skills that will give students confidence in their ability to obtain high-quality analytical data

The academic dishonesty policy
"Intellectual integrity on the part of all students is basic to individual growth and development through college course work. When academic dishonestly occurs, the teaching/learning climate is seriously undermined and student growth and development are impeded. For these reasons, any form of intellectual dishonestly is a serious concern and is therefore prohibited."

DISABILITY

The Office of Disability Services is available to assist students who have a legally documented disability or students who suspect that they may have a disability. If you have a disabling condition that may interfere with your ability to successfully complete this course, please contact the Office of Disability Services. (Alternative testing for students with learning disabilities is available through Disability Services.)

CLASSROOM RULES OF CONDUCT

Expressing yourself in the classroom in an orderly manner is greatly encouraged; just ask to be given permission to do so. However, chatting, early exits, late entrances and traffic during lectures will not be tolerated. Disruptive students will be asked to leave the classroom, and will have to meet the instructor to be allowed to return.
