Chemistry 302 SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE Spring 2001

INSTRUMENTAL METHODS

INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Kevin D. Crawford

crawfordk@citadel.edu

Office: Byrd 315, Phone: 953-7787

CLASS MEETINGS: Discussions - Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 1:00-1:50, Byrd 314

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:

1. To learn the fundamental principles behind the instrumental analysis of chemical compounds.

2. To develop a working knowledge of the design and operation of the more common instruments available in a modern chemical laboratory.

3. To gain experience in common methods of chemical analysis.

4. To expand a working vocabulary in both chemical terms and the english language.

5. To understand the limitations of current analytical methods.

OFFICE HOURS: Monday and Wednesday 10-11am, Thursday 1-2pm, and whenever my office door is open and I am not busy.

ATTENDANCE: Attendance at each class period is mandatory, and punctuality is expected. Advance notice of unavoidable absences is required. Whenever possible, arrangements should be made in advance for absences.

TEXTBOOK: You must have the textbook Principles of Instrumental Analysis, 5th edition, by Skoog, Holler, and Nieman.

LAB BOOK: I will expect you to keep as detailed a lab notebook as necessary for compilation of your lab reports. You should purchase the appropriate type of notebook – no loose sheets, bound, duplicate sheets are nice but not required. The Citadel giftshop has some, the bookstore probably does as well.

LATE WORK: 10% per day will be deducted for late lab reports. Since they are due at the beginning of lab DO NOT come to lab late to finish – you will still lose the 10%, so keep it an extra day and finish it properly.

POINTS: The following point breakdown will be used to determine your course grade for Chem 302:

a. 2 exams at 100 points each 200 points

b. Laboratory Portion (split between lab reports) 300 points

d. Final exam 150 points

Total 650 points
