You will get extensive practice in collecting and presenting experimental data. We do not have a formal attendance policy, but we will give two unannounced quizzes during the semester and success in the course depends on staying on top of the laboratory assignments. Each will target labs that you have already completed. The quizzes are designed to be easy for those how have kept up with the assignments. Lab reports will be evaluated on the basis of accuracy, clarity, completeness, neatness, and adherence to instructions.
Lab reports are due at the start of the next lab meeting unless otherwise announed.
In addition, we will ask each of you to prepare and present an oral report on one of the labs. Presentations will be made during one of the next two lab meetings. They should cover the background, method, results, and conclusions for the assigned lab. We will grade oral reports on thoroughness, scholarship, accuracy, and clarity. We expect everyone to abide by Clemson University rules concerning academic integrity .
