Day Lab Schedule
You are required to have your lab manual for the first day of lab.
Last updated: 09/23/2008
Lab exercises are designed to go into more detail about subjects that are particularly important in the course. There will be multiple-choice questions on the exams that are based on lab exercise subjects. Teaching Assistants are not going to lead you step by step through the lab exercises. We want students to read and understand the lab exercise before attending lab. Refer to lecture notes and your textbook to answer any questions you may have. Lab instructors will give a brief overview of the lab exercise at the beginning of the lab period and will answer specific questions you may have. Students will work on lab exercises during the 2-hour lab period where they can collaborate with other students and ask the lab instructor for assistance. Labs are to be completed at home and turned in to the lab instructor at the next meeting. See Rules & Policies regarding labs. Some lab exercises require supplies other than your lab manual, a pencil and your head. Items needed may include a ruler and/or colored pencils. It's your responsibility to bring necessary items to lab. Labs MUST be completed in pencil. |
