Labs

Labs are held in Bourns Hall B238. They start on Monday, September 27.

Every week in lab you will work through one of the assignments in the lab manual. Labs will be graded by the TA during the lab hours, so you must show up with your lab manual.

Part of your lab grade will be based on attendance. You must show up within the first 20 minutes of the lab (i.e. by 30 minutes after the hour) to receive the attendance credit.

No late lab assignments will be accepted without a doctor's note or other evidence of a serious situation which prevented you from showing up.

The following table shows the lab assignments for each week:
