Missed labs must be made up. Permission to perform a lab at other than the scheduled time must be scheduled with the instructor. Students are expected to be thoroughly familiar with the purpose and general procedures of the laboratory experiment before coming to the lab. A short pre-lab assignment is to be turned in at the beginning of the lab period for most experiments. The pre-lab assignment becomes part of the grade for that experiment.
Reports are due in lab one week after the last week that the lab is performed.
A penalty of 1 point per day will be deducted for late reports. A grade of F for PHY271 will be assigned if any lab reports are not turned in by this deadline . This will be granted mainly if the experiment was not completed during the lab period due to equipment failure. Permission will not be granted if the experiment was not completed due to inadequate preparation on the part of the student. The lab is not available on evenings or weekends for security reasons.
