The write-up for #3: Qualitative Anion
Analysis is due this week. Remember also due

Justin Brooks has done it again. He has
made an Excel
spreadsheet which allows you to enter your grades for
homework, laboratory and exams and it will calculate what
your grade is in class. This is VERY handy and if you
fool around with it you can figure out what you need to
do to get a particular grade. Thanks Justin!

Important
Laboratory issues:
How many
of you out there no how to graph data? Using
Excel? Some other software? If you think
you are going to need some help send me an e-mail
or say something to me in class. We may want to
discuss this during a future HELP Session.
This brings up an important point
that I need to make regarding Pre-laboratory
Questions. These questions MUST be completed before
beginning the laboratory. If they are not completed
when the TA checks them 3 points will automatically
be deducted from the total points you earn for that
particular laboratory experiment. Additionally if any
of the points for that experiment are associated with
the pre-laboratory questions you will also loose
those points. I would predict that a student could
loose from 3 to 5 points for NOT completing the
pre-laboratory questions.
Be sure to take your calculator and
your textbook with you to laboratory. Since the first
50 minutes of the laboratory period is
discussion/problem solving you will want to ask
questions about problem sets and or lecture.
