Lab partners work together on common specimens and unknowns.
For each lab exercise, lab partners share in data collection, measurements, observations, etc. The schedule of lab exercises and field trips is given below. Except for the April 30 to May 3 field trip, the schedule is subject to change due to the availability of specialized instruments and personnel. Attendance is mandatory in order to receive a grade for the particular lab or field trip. It is difficult or impossible to accommodate persons needing to make up missed labs for obvious logistical reasons and because special arrangements are typically required to gain access to specialized facilities and staff.
