Prior to our first laboratory meeting (it is the first week of classes!), please complete the following.
Plan at least three hours in the week prior to classes to complete this assignment.
I. Get familiar with the course policies and tools (written assignment!)
- Log into Duke's Sakai platform and familiarize yourself with this course's Sakai site.
- Read the entire orientation module in this manual.
- Find the syllabus, download it, and read the entire document carefully.
- Complete the "Orientation Assignment" that is found at the end of the syllabus. Complete the assignment and submit it on Gradescope prior to the first course meeting.
- Review the Duke Chemistry Safety Manual.
II. Prepare for the first lab activity:
- Plan to be in lab on the first meeting day - dress appropriately.
- Bring a physical notebook, or make a plan to keep an E-notebook to record all lab work (any format, physical or electronic).
- Print the lab manual if you prefer a physical document.
- Move to Module 2 and begin the pre-lab assignment - if you don't have time to completely finish it, at least do the following:
- download the example calibration template (download link).
- check out the videos on how to use volumetric glassware
- read over the procedure, and be mentally prepared to make the solutions described.
- (if you don't completely finish the Pre-Lab assignment for Module 2, plan to do so before the second lab meeting).
