HORSEPLAY “Horseplay” in the lab is not tolerated
under ANY circumstances. It can lead to chemical spills, accidental fires, and broken equipment. Never throw anything and not wrestling, punching or shoving in the lab even if you’re just “playing”. Those types of behaviors will result in your removal from the lab and you will earn a zero for that lab. You may also be excluded from future labs due to inappropriate behavior!
