A. Prerequisites

Students who enrol in Chemistry 1P81 must have completed CHEM 1P80 or CHEM 1P90 or the equivalent course with a passing mark.
B. Examinations
There are two 90-minute midterm tests plus a final examination. The 90-minute tests are scheduled to run on a Friday or Saturday (dates are in the lecture schedule). The midterm tests consist primarily of problems and short-answer questions. The final examination may include essay questions as well as problems and short-answer questions. All examinations are cumulative and may also include topics from the laboratory work.

There is also a laboratory examination this term, covering chemical safety, lab techniques, use of equipment, calculations, and other lab-related material.

Departmental Policy on Final Examinations A student must achieve a mark of at least 30% on the final examination in order to receive a passing mark in the course.
 

C. Laboratories
Students attend a lab once a week, according to the schedule given. A completed experiment includes a submitted lab report. Students must complete at least 90% of the labs in order to pass the course. If you miss an experiment, you will be allowed to make it up provided you have a valid reason for your absence from lab. A make-up lab is scheduled for the 11th week of term.

Laboratory reports are due two working days after completion of the experiment. Day lab reports should be turned in by 5:30 p.m. on the 2nd day, in the report box outside E305. Night lab reports are due at noon on the third day.
 

D. Assignments
There are 10 assignments (one per chapter) in CHEM 1P81, designed to follow the adopted textbook (Kotz and Treichel 4th edition). Each student registered in the course will receive a package of assignments during the lab. If you lose your assignments, there is a replacement charge of $1 for each assignment that must be reprinted.

Assignments are due about a week after the material has been covered in lecture. For this reason, late assignments will not be accepted. There is no penalty for turning in assignments early!
 

E. Important Change in Policy
 
Effective September 2001, students must have an average of 60% or higher in CHEM 1P80 and CHEM 1P81 in order to take Chemistry courses at the second-year level.
