Organic Chemistry for the Life Sciences(3)
Fall Term 1998
Lab Information & Lab Schedule
Important Lab Information
The lab instructor for this course is:
Mindy Vinqvist
- Lab reports will NOT be required for regular weekly lab
sessions. Instead you will write all of your pre-lab information, your
procedure, observations, calculations... directly, neatly and properly in
your hardcover book, which you will leave with your demonstrator at the end
of the lab session.
- Think ahead. Make sure you bring everything you need to finish your work during the lab period.
- Be prepared to stay a little later.
- You wil be able to pick up your books a couple of days before the next
lab so that you can prepare your pre-lab.
- You must pass the lab section to pass the course.
