"Mohrig" refers toMohrig, Hammond, Schatz and Morrill, "Techniques in Organic Chemistry" (red editionand white edition) and "GNS" denotes Garland, Nibler, Shoemaker, "Experiments inPhysical Chemistry," 7th or 8th edition; . "Lab Manual" denotes background material inthe Experimental Chemistry I lab manual (lab procedures must be read before each labperiod).University Policies:Please note: "Students with documented disabilities who may need accommodations,who have any emergency medical information the instructor should know, or who needspecial arrangements in the event of evacuation, should make an appointment with theinstructor as early as possible, no later that the first week of the term. In order to arrangealternative testing, the student should make the request at least one week in advance ofthe test. Students seeking accommodations should be registered with the Office ofDisability Access Services http://ds.oregonstate.edu/home/.Please note: The College of Science follows the university rules on civility and honesty.These can be found at http://oregonstate.edu/admin/stucon/

University Policies (cont’d):Cheating or plagiarism by students is subject to the disciplinary process outlined in theStudent Conduct Regulations. Students are expected to be honest and ethical in theiracademic work. Academic dishonesty is defined as an intentional act of deception in oneof the following areas:* cheating- use or attempted use of unauthorized 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 ownBehaviors disruptive to the learning environment will not be tolerated and will bereferred to the Office of Student Conduct for disciplinary action.“The goal of Oregon State University is to provide students with the knowledge, skill andwisdom they need to contribute to society.
