Virtual Lab Report (5%)

The four interactive, web-based labs introduce basic techniques and illustrate properties of organic compounds. The labs are a series of online tutorials and videos explaining an experiment or an experimental technique for which small reading and practice problem assignments are also incorporated. Assessments of the labs will examine concepts related to experiment design and the practical aspects of a science course.

The Virtual lab report will be a report to be submitted for an experiment from the online tutorials.  Several practical questions will need to be answered by the student.  A practice lab report will be posted so students know what to expect.  This report will be delivered by the Moodle system as an electronic file partway through the course (deadline TBA).

Practice questions are also available to help you to check your understanding of the material and increase your skill at completing organic calculations.
