COURSE GUIDELINE
Course Name: General Chemistry Lab

Course Code: CHe101L
Disclaimer
The instructor holds the right to make necessary changes to the syllabus and the grading policies
outlined here to best accommodate the interest of the class. It is the responsibility of the student to
attend all classes and stay informed about this course, its contents, and any changes to them. It is
also the responsibility of the student to read this syllabus, and make sure they fully understand and
follow everything on it. If you are having problems understanding the material then student need
to inform the respective course teacher and get help by attending office hours and doing so in a
timely manner.
Course Description:
Contains experiments that cover some of the main areas of chemistry students will encounter in
the lecture part of CHE101. Unlike some traditional laboratory approaches, the students are not
expected to know anything about the subject being considered before they go to the lab. These are
Guided Inquiry Experiments. The design and purpose of the experiments is to introduce the
students the subject area and give a concrete experience with the concepts before they are discussed
in a more abstract way in the lecture. Students will be often exposed to certain concepts and ideas
for the first time during the lab which will help them their understanding of the concepts. Since
the experiments are designed to help learn some of the laboratory techniques and procedures that
the Scientists investigate in nature, they also introduce some of the basic concepts of chemistry. In
these guided enquiry experiments, students were given specific instructions as to what to conduct
and answer questions about the data collected. Credit - 1 unit.
Course Contents:
1. Measurements and Acid-Base Classification

2. Dissolution Reactions: Heats of Dissociation
3. Chemistry Model Kit System: Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structures
Learning Outcomes:
Completion of General Chemistry Lab Component (CHE101L) through the class performance and
reports. Students should be able to produce reports based on any scientific experiments they do,
answer questions that ask them to draw pictures, a Mental Model, to show their understanding at
the atomic / molecular level which they are studying related to the scientific experiment.

Grading Policy:
NSU grading policy: http://www.northsouth.edu/academic/grading-policy.html
Make-up lab policy:

Permission to make-up a missed lab will be granted only for excused absences. Determination of
what constitutes an excused absence will be at the discretion of the Lab Instructor. If the instructor
chooses to grant a make-up, he/she will give the student written permission (another form to be
filled out by the students and signed by the instructor) to attend another section of the same lab
type. The student is to check the lab schedule to determine which lab to attend for the make-up.
Upon arrival to the chosen section, the student is to present the written permission to the Lab
Instructor or Lab Coordinator of the desired make-up section, who will admit them if space is
available. Students in CHE101L labs should make up their labs ASAP, while sections from the
missed experiment are still available.
Academic dishonesty
Cheating during the Quizzes or Exams is not acceptable. NSU is very strict about its academic
dishonesty policies, and the Instructor is obligated to report any case of violation. Code is
available for review online at:

Courtesy:
This is a standard size class and can get noisy at times. Please respect those who want to hear by
not participating in disruptive conversation, by not allowing cell phones to ring or by making
derogatory remarks to others. You will be asked to leave if others complain about your behavior.
Classroom Etiquettes:
1. Bring the following items to every class: Lab coat, Note book, Calculator and stationaries
2. No make-up final quiz will be taken
3. Put your mobile phone inside bag/pocket before class starts and during class you are
prohibited to use mobile phone unless it is emergency.
4. Unless you absolutely need to leave class before the period ends, please wait for the teacher
to dismiss the class before packing up your books, etc.
5. Follow instruction of faculty on “turning ON audio & video camera” during online class.
6. Behave formally, in the exact same way you should have in a physical classroom during an
online class.
