6. Safety Goggles:

All students are required to bring safety glasses (available in the Bookstore) to every laboratory session. You will not be permitted to remain in the lab and perform experiments without them. -Only applicable to in-person labs

7. Scientific Calculator:

All students are required to have their own scientific calculator. Borrowing calculators or using cellphones/IPads etc., will NOT be allowed during quizzes and exams and using them will be treated as intent to cheat.

Academic Integrity Policy: Instructors of this course are required to implement the College Policy regarding cheating on examinations and quizzes. A complete statement of the policy is available at the student counseling services or online at https://www.laguardia.edu/uploadedFiles/Main_Site/Content/Faculty_Staff/Docs/academicintegritypolicy.pdf Attendance Policy: Attendance at all class sessions, lecture and laboratory, is essential for proper understanding and mastery of the course material. Attendance in class is a requirement and will be considered in the evaluation of student performance. Instructors are required to keep an official record of student attendance. The maximum number of unexcused absences is limited to 15% of the number of class hours. Note: Absences are counted from the first day of class even if they are a result of late registration or change of program. For distance learning attendance may be taken more than once during class time. Students with Disabilities: Every attempt will be made to accommodate any student with disabilities. If you have a documented or undocumented disability please see the instructor after class as soon as possible to discuss necessary accommodations and/or contact the Office for Students with Disabilities at (718) 482-5279 or go to room M-102 Cell Phone Policy: The use of cell phones, smart phones, or other mobile communication devices is disruptive, and is therefore prohibited during class. Except in emergencies, those using such devices must leave the classroom for the remainder of the class period. CUNY Policy on Video Recorded Sessions: Students who participate in this class with their camera on or use a profile image are agreeing to have their video or image recorded solely for the purpose of creating a record for students enrolled in the class to refer to, including those enrolled students who are unable to attend live. If you are unwilling to consent to have your profile or video image recorded, be sure to keep your camera off and do not use a profile image. Likewise, students who un-mute during class and participate orally are agreeing to have their voices recorded. If you are not willing to consent to have your voice recorded during class, you will need to keep your mute button activated and communicate exclusively using the "chat" feature, which allows students to type questions and comments live. Sessions (if recorded) are for SCC201 Fall II 2020 purposes only, and cannot be used, distributed, posted elsewhere.

LABORATORY REQUIREMENTS

SAFETY INFORMATION ( Points 1-4 Not applicable to distance learning experiments) 1. Please be aware where safety equipment is located (Safety Shower, Eye Wash Station, Fire Extinguishers, Fire Blankets, First Aid Kits and Emergency Exits). In case of emergency, instructors should direct students to the proper safety equipment and then call the laboratory technician. 2. Students are required to wear safety glasses at all times for laboratory work and to observe all safety rules. 3. NO FOOD OR DRINK (including bottled water) is allowed in the lab at any time. 4. Students are required to wear closed, non-fabric shoes to adequately protect their feet – NO SANDALS, SLIPPERS, OPEN-TOED OR OPEN-HEELED SHOES ARE ALLOWED.

LECTURE/LAB POLICIES ( Points 5 and 8 are not applicable to distance learning experiments)

Attendance Policy: Attendance at all class sessions, lecture and laboratory, is essential for proper understanding and mastery of the course material. A student who is absent from more than one laboratory session seriously jeopardizes his/her grade for the course. The maximum number of unexcused absences is limited to 15% of the number of class hours, about 4 lectures. 5. Students will not be permitted to do the lab if they arrive more than 30 minutes late. At the instructor’s discretion, they may be permitted to do a makeup (see #8). 6. The student’s data sheet should be signed by the instructor before leaving the lab. All entries into data sheets must be in INK with NO WHITE-OUTS (liquid paper). The original signed data sheet must be submitted with the lab report. 7. Formal, written lab reports are required for 5 labs and are worth 30 points each. There are 5 informal labs worth 10 points each. Please look the Laboratory Manual for guidelines for preparing the reports 8. Students are permitted to make up missed labs with another class at the instructor’s discretion. A student wishing to make up a missed lab must obtain a signed permission form from his or her original instructor to take to the class where the lab will be made up. The form is available from the lab technician. At the end of the makeup lab, this form must be signed by the instructor and returned by the student to the original instructor as proof that the lab was completed. Please note that the lab can only be made up if there is another class doing the same lab and there is space available for the student in that class. Not applicable for on-line classes 9. A pre-lab quiz will be given at the beginning of each lab session – you should read through the experiment and do the pre-lab exercises in preparation for the quiz.
