General Learning Goals & Abilities which apply to the
laboratory
activities:
1) Learn and understand the scientific content described as learning objectives for each laboratory activity.
2) Use knowledge and skills developed in lecture and lab to explain laboratory results using the language of science. Write clearly with appropriate style and mechanics. Use diagrams and figures to help communicate ideas. (Critical Thinking and Communication abilities)
3)
Learn how to keep an accurate, neat, organized, and complete
documentation of your scientific activity in much the same way that
scientists
do. (Lifelong
Learning and Information /Technology Abilities)
4) Manage time, meet deadlines, allow challenges to build discipline and confidence. (Lifelong Learning Ability)
5)
Work cooperatively with others in a group setting.
(Lifelong Learning Ability,
Effective Citizenship)
6)
Learn
how to make
precise and accurate measurements. Learn
how to determine the precision of measurements and calculations.
Learn that significant figures reflect the precision of
measurement
technique and of the final results.

/Technology Ability)
7) Work safely in the laboratory environment (Lifelong Learning Ability)
Lab Policies
3. Bring a pencil and a calculator to lab with you.
4. Try not to hurry through the lab exercises, rather try to understand them as you go along. The instructor is there to help you if you experience difficulty, not to tell you answers. Finish all data collection, calculations, and answer all questions before leaving the lab and have your instructor evaluate your work.
5. Please act responsibly and safely at all times while in lab. Please notify the instructor of any safety concerns that you may have while in lab.
6. Lab write-ups are not collected. Students will be given a grade of 0 through 10 on their lab reports and participation based on the instructor's impression of the overall quality of their work during each laboratory activity.
Students should be on time. If circumstances prohibit a student from arriving on time the student should plan on attending another lab section that week, or doing a make-up assignment (see below).
8. 8. Any
student missing more than 2 labs will receive an incomplete for the
course (provided a C or better has been earned for all work in the
course). Each lab activity
missed by the student will reduce their overall course grade by 2 %. Laboratory exercises are assigned weekly.
