Attendance
Demonstrations of equipment take place Mondays at 1 pm every other week (the weeks that new labs don't start). Attendance is mandatory! Locations are in different research labs; location will be given at lecture in prior week. Lectures are also mandatory. You must sign up for both lab and lecture.
The labs are open 16 hours per week, but not all this time will be needed. Sign up for lab time (in partners) with the TAs. Be punctual and efficient: happy TA = happy grader.
Grading
In-lab performance (preparedness, organization, protocols, results): 20%
Lab reports (written and oral): 55%
Exam(s) (tentative): 25%Overview
This course is designed to develop familiarity with the instrumentation and underlying principles used to analyze chemicals. Experimental and theoretical emphasis is placed on techniques that involve the absorption, emission or diffraction of electromagnetic radiation, as well as voltammetry for the determination of trace inorganic species. Course goals also include: proper analytical lab techniques, quantitative analysis, experimental design, and concise and clear presentation of reports. The extensive written portion of the course will lead to skills in the proper formatting of research papers, writing scientific commentary, and use of the scientific literature.
