All course material posted in the syllabus, on Canvas, or in any course tool is copyrighted. Therefore, transcribing or recording and then selling, publishing, or posting any of the laboratory material presented in class is strictly prohibited. This applies, in particular, to “professional” note-taking services and companies that publish such material on the internet, in any written, audio, or video format. Students must obtain permission from the instructor to create any audio or video recordings of any lab activities. Violation of this policy is considered an academic offense.

If you have questions about an experiment, contact your TA, go to the Learning Center, or contact the lab supervisor at april.french@uky.edu


The General Chemistry Program recognizes the high cost of textbooks and works to lower those costs whenever possible. Some courses use Open Educational Resources (OER), such as LibreText, that are freely available online. The instructors, Department of Chemistry, and University receive NO compensation (money or in-kind contributions) for your use of these materials. Some instructors make their notes available at a local print shop but receive NO compensation from your purchase. These materials are always available for free on the Canvas course site.

The lab manuals for CHE 111 and 113 have been written over the years by many people within the Department of Chemistry which owns the copyright to those materials (unless otherwise noted in the lab manual). A small royalty fee (~$1) is added to the cost of each lab manual. This money goes to the Department of Chemistry, NOT any individual, and is used to fund needs within the Department and General Chemistry program.

Land AcknowledgementThe University of Kentucky rests on the dispossessed lands of the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Osage, and Shawnee people. With recognition and respect, we live and work in these ancestral lands, as well as those of the Delaware, Mosopelea, Wyandot, and Yuchi people.
