POLICIES:
Students are expected to attend class, be on time, and have all assignments completed by
the published due date. All scheduled Assignments/Projects are to be turned in at the
beginning of the class period on the date they are due or they are considered late and will
be penalized by 25%. No late work is accepted after work has been returned.
A maximum of two written examinations, to be derived from any or all materials used or
discussed during the lecture and lab periods, will be given during the semester. If a
student misses any examination, he/she must make arrangements with the instructor
within one week for a make-up exam or the student will be given a zero (0) for that grade.
No student will be seated for any exam after the first student has left the exam class room
– so be on time.
The instructor will not be responsible for providing information that was missed due to
absence or tardiness. You are expected to inform the instructor of any attendance
difficulties.

LABORATORY REPORTS:
Lab Reports will consist of the following:
1. (2-Pt) Cover Page with Title of exercise, Student’s name, and Date
submitted.
2. (3-Pt) An introduction which summarizes the lab and states what will be
accomplished during this experiment.
3. (7-Pt) A page/pages with all of the required data that you obtain when you
performed the lab.
4. (3-Pt) There should be a final page where you will give your conclusions about
the results of your experiment. Tell what you learned in this lab.
Note: Lab reports will be graded on neatness and should be easy to read.
