1 Purpose

Labs are intended to help you understand the material covered in the lectures and readings. Most labs involve guided "experiments" that are designed to help you discover/realize things that you might otherwise be unaware of. Other labs are designed to give you additional experience with a topic or help you acquire skills.

2 Collaboration

Since labs are intended to help you understand the material covered in the course and grades are based mostly on effort, you may work on labs alone or in a group (of no more than 3 students).

3 Submission

Your progress on the lab must be "checked-off" at the end of the lab period. So, before logging off, ask the instructor to look at your worksheet.

If you are not "checked-off" at the end of the lab period (for whatever reason) you must submit a hardcopy (i.e., printed on paper) of the worksheet before 5:00PM on the day of the lab.

4 Records/Archives

You must keep a record/archive of your work on all of the labs you complete (either in whole or in part). You may keep either an electronic copy (e.g., on your "Novell drive", on a thumbdrive) or hardcopy.

You may be asked for your lab archive at any time during the semester.
