Introduction

Each of the four labs is taught for two weeks. You will be scheduled to attend lab during one of the two weeks. The dates for your laboratory section will be posted outside room 101 Thurston. In general, you will have a lab once every three weeks, but be aware that this may vary due to exam and break schedules. (Summer session lab schedules will differ.)

See the Secretary in Kimball 212 if you have any problems with your lab schedule. You'll need to get her approval for any changes, so that the lab sections do not become overly full. Turning in a course change form to the registrar is not enough.

TURNING IN YOUR LAB REPORT

Lab reports are due one week from the day you performed the lab, at 8:00 in the morning, unless your TA specifies another time.

Turn in reports in the boxes in Don Conway room on the first floor of Thurston Hall. Be sure to put your report in the correct box corresponding to the TA in charge of your lab section.

MISSED LAB AND LATE REPORT POLICY

All make-up labs must be arranged with your TA and the Secretary, in 212 Kimball Hall. If you know in advance that you'll be gone, you should sign up with her at least one week prior to the scheduled lab. This gives you a better chance to sign up for a convenient time, and there's no point penalty. If you miss your lab without arranging a make-up lab in advance, you should still try to arrange a new time. However, a one-point lab report penalty will be imposed, unless you were ill, etc. You should arrange to make up a missed lab as soon as possible, since the lab setups are changed after a lab is finished. In special circumstances,
labs may be made up at the end of the semester; sign up with your TA and the Secretary in 212 Kimball Hall.

If you show up for lab after it is under way, your lab instructor may ask you to leave, and to perform the lab another time. The ENGRD 203 lab equipment should not be used without proper training. Note also that answers to pre-lab questions are due at the beginning of lab, and will not be accepted for credit later.

Reports turned in late will be marked down 2 points, and 4 points if they are more than a week late. Maximum late penalty is 4 points. Late reports may be handed in until one week after the last regularly scheduled lab of the semester.

Exceptions to the above policies may be made in the case of documented illness or other emergency. Talk to your lab TA about late reports; see your TA and the Secretary in 212 Kimball Hall about making up a lab.

PRE-LAB QUESTIONS

Each lab has pre-lab questions which should be answered before you come to lab. These questions encourage you to read through the laboratory procedure prior to attending the lab, and gain an understanding of what will be done during the laboratory period.

For this reason, your answers are due at the start of the lab.
