1) The textbook: “Organic Chemistry Laboratory, Standard and Microscale Experiments, third ed.” by C. E. Bell, Jr., Allen Clark, And Douglas Taber; Harcourt College Publishing, 2001.

2) A laboratory notebook which is permanently bound, has serially numbered pages, and which allows you to make a removable carbon copy which can be turned in for grading.

3) A laboratory coat - knee-length and long-sleeved.

4) Safety goggles (NOT SAFETY GLASSES). The laboratory coat and goggles must be worn at all times anyone in the laboratory is doing experimental work. They may be purchased in the chemistry department. (Note: No open-toed shoes are allowed in the laboratory at any time!)

5) A STRONG, RELIABLE lock for your laboratory drawer. Lock your drawer whenever you leave your bench, even if you are only walking across the room! Lock your drawer at the end of every lab period. You are responsible for any broken, missing, or stolen glassware and equipment.

NOTE: The following may be subject to revision. It is the responsibility of the student to make note of any such revision when given by the TA.
