Undergraduate chemistry courses experiment-specific laboratory

Preparation of Experiment-Specific Laboratory Chemical Safety Summaries from Material Safety Data Sheets for Undergraduate Chemistry Courses... 

To meet the new undergraduate curriculum requirements at SFU, the Department of Chemistry recently altered a required second-year inorganic chemistry laboratory course to provide specific instruction in scientific writing. The weekly 4-h laboratory sessions remain, in the traditional way, the time for students to receive hands on experience with basic inorganic chemistry concepts and laboratory techniques. With the addition of weekly 1-h tutorials, detailed instruction could focus on the various aspects of writing typically associated with a laboratory science. Attendance at both the laboratory and tutorial sessions is mandatory. 

I HE PRINCIPAL purpose of this textbook is to provide a resource that can be used to help teach undergraduate chemistry students the basics of laboratory and chemical safety. This textbook is not designed for a single course but rather its concept is to use short sections in laboratory sessions (or perhaps some lecture sessions) over the four years of undergraduate study. It can be used as a companion text for each laboratory chemistry course throughout the curriculum, including research, using specific sections that fit the topics and hazards of the laboratory experiments.
