There are no make-up laboratories . An absence in laboratory will result in serious point reduction for that laboratory. A second absence in laboratory will result in failure of the course. Each tardy in laboratory will be met by a 10 point reduction in final grade. Prior consultation with the instructor is necessary before being excused from an examination or laboratory.
All exams are comprehensive.
The material in this course builds upon itself, therefor, if you do not learn the early material, then the later material will not make sense. There will be four, one hour examinations each worth 100 points. You will be allowed to drop your lowest hour exam score. Reports will be required for each laboratory. The format for the laboratory results will be discussed in class.
