  • NO LATE LABS ACCEPTED!

  • Lab Submissions: Labs are graded by the TA in the lab room in real time. You present to the TA the lab for grading before the end of the lab session. You can also submit a lab on blackboard by 8:05 p.m. of the due date. The TA will download the lab and grade it. Your grades for all work in the course will also be posted on Blackboard. Review your grades regularly on Blackboard.

    Work you have to turn is is due as follows:

  • * Pre-lab: at the beginning of the lab
  • * In-lab: at the end of the lab session
  • * Post-lab: at the end of the lab section- Post Labs can contain homework like questions and threfore can require substantial amount of time invested.
  • or submit all 3 on Blackboard timestamped no later than 8:05 p.m. of th edue date
  • It is recommended that a student starts working on a lab in prior of its due date. It would almost be impossible to start a lab and finish it during the lab time.
  • Ethics: Any behavior on any homework or exam that could be considered copying or cheating will result in an immediate zero on the assignment for all parties involved, failure in the class, and notification of the Undergraduate or Graduate Dean's Office.

  • Communication is critical to the success and satisfaction of the learning experience. Please take advantage of myself, my posted office hours, e-mail and phone numbers to communicate any class issues with me.
