It is also important that you read the lab preparation section and relevant lecture reading material before coming to your lab session. It is your responsibility to be prepared to carry out your lab work with minimal supervision, since there will not be enough instructors present to assist everyone intensively. If you miss your discussion section that week, you will not be able to make up those lost points. We expect that students submit homework that represents what you as an individual would write as if these assignments were given to you in an examination. These questions can be answered by reading the optional textbook or consulting the lecture screens on this web site.
Homework is due on the day noted for each assignment, at the beginning of the lecture period .
No homework is accepted after we start returning the graded homework sets or post the key on this web site. The purpose is to actively engage the student in the in-class learning process. You will be required to complete enough of these to get at least 50 points. Anything beyond those 50 points is considered extra credit. Thus, you will be able to complete this requirement even if you happen to miss a lecture when such an activity takes place.
