The aim of this course is to provide an opportunity to learn basic experimental techniques for chemical synthetic reactions in organic or inorganic chemistry, such as separation, isolation, purification and analysis.

- General Chemistry, General Chemistry Lab I & II, Analytical Chemistry & Laboratory, Organic Chemistry I (in course)
- [Important] Participation in experimental classes requires submission of both a consent form for class operations and a certificate of completion for the semester’s 6-hour online laboratory safety training course.
- Students are expected to review the experimental procedures and content in advance, and to enter the laboratory fully prepared for the day’s experiment. A quiz on the day’s experiment will be conducted before the experiment begins.
- All experiments are conducted individually by each student (or in groups of two).
- Students must comply with all laboratory safety regulations and follow the instructions of the Instructor in charge, including those related to clothing requirements.

- Report (70 points per experiment): Pre-report (10 points), In-lab report (40 points), Results and Discussions (20 points)
- Quiz (10 points per experiment): A 10-minute quiz will be conducted weekly before the start of each experiment.
- Performance in the class (20 points per experiment): Includes preparation of experiments, punctuality, cleaning up after work, compliance with safety rules, etc.
- Examination (150 points)
- Full Experimental Report (150 points)
- Attendance
1) Absences are not accepted. However, if attendance at the scheduled time is impossible due to unavoidable circumstances, an alternative session within the same week may be arranged with prior approval from the Instructor. Approval will only be granted for reasons recognized by the Instructor, such as examinations by the Military Manpower Administration, reserve military force training, or official school events. Relevant documentation is required in these cases.
2) Tardiness and similar issues will result in point deductions from the Class Performance score.

2:30– Experiment

- Consult the Instructor regarding any matters related to the class.
- The order of experiments may change (e.g. the order of Exp 1 and 2 may be reversed).
- It is recommended that you do not make personal plans for the evening of the class day, as the experiment may take a long time.

- All announcements will be made via the PLMS.
- Since the evaluation of experimental reports (Pre-Lab, In-Lab, and Final Lab) constitutes the majority of the total score, it is essential to prepare these reports thoroughly.
- Plagiarism is considered a serious academic offense. Any plagiarized report will receive a score of zero, and points will also be deducted from the Class Performance score.
