Success in the lecture course will require your active participation during class. Class meetings depend upon the questions raised by students. You are responsible for information presented during all class and laboratory sessions. If you are ever absent, contact a classmate immediately because you will be held responsible for announcements regarding quizzes, exams, changes in lab protocols, etc. Unexcused absences will lower your grade.
Excessive absences are grounds for automatic failure.
Laboratory sessions will require the entire scheduled period. You will be responsible for cleaning up before you leave lab. Do not plan to leave lab before the scheduled time. You will need to read the relevant text material and the appropriate lab material before you come to class or lab. You will need your textbook, supplement, and any handouts during class meetings.
