FCCJ Official CHM 1025C Lab Outline:

The district course outline has the following lists of labs. We will do at least 10 “wet” or “hands-on” labs and no more than 15 total experiences from the list below.

There are no make-ups for missed labs. Via Special permission a student who has to be absent may do the required week’s lab during one of the other scheduled lab sessions of either Professor Taylor or Professor Langat. Upon Special permission a student may be assigned to do an outside class library/research project to fulfill that week’s lab experience..

No lab manual has been selected, but weekly handouts will be distributed either in hard copy or as an electronic download. Sometimes the lab will be to show a couple of the films and write a paper analysis of the video. This grade will be adjusted to 20% of the total points in the final grade calculation.
