You should expect to spend the full two hours in lab. Promptness is expected. Late arrivals will forfeit credit for the lab. A quiz will be given in the first 10 minutes of each laboratory covering the material from the previous lab as well as the reading assignment for the current laboratory. Each quiz will be worth approximately 10 points.
Students arriving late to the laboratory forfeit their opportunity to take the quiz .
A Nighttime Field Trip will be arranged if possible to the Mt. Wilson Observatory for a lesson in Astronomy. The field trip will be considered mandatory. It is highly recommended that you take advantage of the opportunities to observe the world in a 'real' way, rather than in the classroom. Conflicts for the field trip will be addressed on a case by case basis with your instructor. Alternative assignments will be required.
