CHEM 132L

This course is designed to acquaint the student with elementary procedures and techniques encountered in the chemical laboratory. The experiments have been chosen to illustrate these techniques and to supplement lecture material.

Required Text is available on your course canvas page or at www.jmu.edu/chemistry. The safety glasses/goggles are available in department for the first two weeks ($10/pair) and also in the bookstore.

Departmental Requirements:

1. In order to maintain a safe environment for the student and instructor, no one will be permitted to remain in the laboratory without some form of eye protection. Further, the student is expected to be familiar with departmental safety requirements and comply with the safety guidelines given in the laboratory manual.
2. Two unexcused absences will result in an "F" in the course. Each instructor will determine what constitutes an excused absence. Excuses must be obtained from the laboratory instructor before the lab starts. In the event of a conflict caused by a University sponsored extra-curricular activity, it is the student's responsibility to make satisfactory arrangements with the instructor prior to the conflict.
