- The write-up of every experiment constitutes a major portion of the grade for this course. If you happen to adjust yields, melting points etc. to any other values than you observed, you may receive 0 pts for that particular experiment. Details concerning the write-up can be found here.
- The purpose of the quizzes is to verify that you did prepare for the up-coming experiments of each laboratory session. In laboratory periods, where the sole tasks are safety training, check-in or check-out, no quiz is given. The quizzes will be given in the first 5 minutes of the beginning of each laboratory session. If you are late, you may not be able to take the quiz and a score of 0 pts may be included in the total quiz score.
-
TA assessment – http://www.d.umn.edu/~pgrundt/2543/Rules.html
- General performance in the laboratory. The TA decision to deduct points is
final. Points may be deducted for any of the following reasons: a) Your TA
considers your behavior in laboratory to be a safety risk for yourself and
others. b) The TA has to clean your workspace c) your clothing including your
shoes is inappropriate for a laboratory course. – The TA will give you the
opportunity to change your clothing and shoes however you will not be able to
make-up any missed time.
- There will be no opportunity to make up a missed Laboratory period. The UMD policy for excused absences applies.
