Class Policies:
1. The class requirements should be brought at all times
2. Each student will work on each experiment with a partner or groupmates (in case of odd numbered-class
or in certain experiments)
3. Each pair or group will be assigned a locker, which should be kept clean and secure at all times
4. Each student must follow the format prescribed for his/her laboratory notebook. Refer to page 1 of the
manual
5. Each student must wear the prescribed personal protective equipment (PPE), which consist of the
laboratory gown, goggles, closed shoes, properly tied hair and long pants, before performing an experiment. A
student without complete PPE is considered absent.
6. Each student must submit the completed data sheet and a laboratory report (either an ATQ or FR) two
meetings after the last day of the experiment. Non-submission of a report gives the student a grade of INC, if
the total standing of the student is passing.
7. A student is considered to be late if s/he goes in class 15-30 minutes after the class has started. A student is
considered to be absent if s/he goes in class after 30 minutes into the class and s/he merits a grade of 0 for
lab performance
8. No make-up experiments are allowed for any type of absence. A missed exam merits the student a grade of
incomplete.
9. Broken glassware and/or equipment should be replaced within one week from occurrence of damage.
10. ACADEMIC DISHONESTY (COPYING IN EXAMINATION, USE OF CRADLE NOTES AND PLAGIARISM,
AMONG OTHERS) IS NOT TOLERATED. A STUDENT CAUGHT IN SUCH ACTS MAY FACE EXPULSION FROM
THE UNIVERSITY.
