Organic Chemistry 317 Laboratory
Thursday 1:00-3:50 PM
NSM C 351
Instructor:
Shannon Kelly, NSM B-132, (310) 243-3362.
Office Hours: TBA.
E-Mail: skelly@csudh.edu
Laboratory Notebook: Your notebook is to be with you at all times in the
laboratory. This is where you record
what you have done and all of the data and observations that you take. The lab notebook is not a lab report. Lab reports are written separately and the
carbons from your notebook are attached to the end of the report.
Laboratory Reports: Will be due the Thursday following the conclusion of an experiment (i.e.
Simple Distillation Report is Due 2/10).
Each report will be worth 20 pts, for a total of 200 pts from all laboratory
experiments (10). Report must be typed
and should include the following:
1. Date2. Title of Experiment3. Summary of Experimental Procedure used.4. Observations / Data (also include a copy taken directly from your laboratory notebook).5. Graphs, Calculations, Exercises or other activities as per your laboratory manual.
Lab Data Sheets and Lab Report Sheets: These sheets found within your laboratory manual tell
you what kind(s) of data, calculations, graphs etc. need to be included in
your laboratory report for any given experiment.
Exercises:
Answers to exercises, found in your manual, are to be turned in with laboratory
reports.
Practicum:
To be discussed later, will be a laboratory test and is worth 100 pts.
Quiz: Will
cover material from all of the laboratories (100 pts). We will discuss this as we proceed. This is not something to worry about, instead
concentrate on your laboratory work and subsequent lab reports.
Course Description: Techniques of separation and purification of organic compounds. Introduction to organic synthesis. Three hours of laboratory per week.
The Goal
of this course is to conduct organic chemistry reactions.
Academic Integrity Statement: A university is a community of learners bonded together
by the search for knowledge; the pursuit of personal, social, cultural, physical,
and intellectual development; and the desire for the liberating effects of
an advanced education. California
State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) has a culture--an academic culture--shared
with other universities and colleges across the nation.
Integral to that culture is a set of values such as academic freedom,
dedication to teaching and learning, diversity, civility toward others, and
academic integrity. Academic integrity is of central importance
in the university community and involves committed allegiance to the values,
the principles, and the code of behavior held to be central in that community.
Integrity concerns honesty and implies being truthful, fair, and free
from lies, fraud and deceit.
