You should read the background material before coming to lecture. "Mohrig" refers to Mohrig, Hammond, Schatz and Morrill, "Techniques in Organic Chemistry" and "GNS" denotes Garland, Nibler, Shoemaker, "Experiments in Physical Chemistry," 7th edition; . "Lab Manual" denotes background material in the Experimental Chemistry I lab manual (lab procedures must be read before each lab period).
University Policies:
Please note: "Students with documented disabilities who may need accommodations, who have any emergency medical information the instructor should know, or who need special arrangements in the event of evacuation, should make an appointment with the instructor as early as possible, no later that the first week of the term. In order to arrange alternative testing, the student should make the request at least one week in advance of the test. Students seeking accommodations should be registered with the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities."
Please note: The College of Science follows the university rules on civility and honesty. These can be found at http://oregonstate.edu/admin/stucon/

materials, information or study aids
* fabrication- falsification or invention of any information
* assisting- helping another commit an act of academic dishonesty
* tampering- altering or interfering with evaluation instruments and
documents
* plagiarism- representing the words or ideas of another person as one's own
Behaviors disruptive to the learning environment will not be tolerated and will be referred to the Office of Student Conduct for disciplinary action.
