This component may also consist of quizzes given at the beginning of the lab period if I feel students are coming to class unprepared. In order to make study materials and myself more accessible, I have put together a web page for the course. Here you will find my schedule, how to contact me, class materials, etc. Lab courses require careful planning, and in many cases timing. Therefore it is important that you come to lab having read the assignment for the day and are prepared to carry out the tasks outlined.
Attendance is mandatory .
You will not be allowed to make up any missed labs. I will NOT use a curve if I feel that people just didn't try. Since you are not being curved, it will be of benefit to you to study with your peers. Being able to logically explain a concept to another student equates with at least partial understanding of the topic. I frown deeply upon missed exams.
