This book will be used only for keeping a complete record of laboratory work. These are available in the college bookstore. Please bring to the laboratory each day, including today, August 31, for Section B or tomorrow for the Wednesday Section A lab. There is no automatic penalty for absences. Attendance is usually recorded at each lecture, laboratory, and discussion session.
Experience indicates that frequent absences interfere with the successful completion of the course.
Students with excessive absences should expect no mercy if they fall right at a grade borderline at the end of the term. Absences from laboratory sessions can be made up if a valid reason for the absence is presented and if the work is made up prior to the next regularly scheduled laboratory period. The experiment report is due at the next regularly scheduled lab period. Absences from quizzes and examinations are discussed below. Further information about quizzes, examinations, and the grading scale employed in the course follows.
