Attendance
Attendance in lab classes is important. Students can only miss a
total of four (4) classes—lectures and labs in any
combinations. Students who exceed this number will be
dropped.
The first week of class (Saturday) is important. Students who do
not attend the first week of class will be dropped.
Students should come to each lecture and lab to ensure success
in this class.
Lab Notes
We use Lab Notes for the lab. If you bought
your textbook at the bookstore, they came
bundled with the textbook.
If you need Lab Notes, they are available online.

You should bring your Lab Notes and textbook to
lab each week.
Lab Classroom and Model Maintenance
At the beginning and end of each lab class, the lab tables should
be empty. Please put away the models in their correct places
in the cabinets.
Use the wooden sticks for pointing.
Testing
There will be five (5) Lab Exams this semester.
The test is divided into stations. There may be between 50 and
75 questions. The event is timed (two minutes per station).
There are NO BONUS points allowed for the lab class and grades
will not be curved.
Each student will be allowed one (1) make-up exam for the
entire semester.
If you miss a lab exam, you must get an approval form from the
instructor to take the make-up exam. Make-up exams will be
given according to a schedule set by the proctor in Room 206.
The exam must be taken before the next scheduled lab exam.
After you complete the exam, you may leave. There will be no
further lab class for that day.
Cell phones should be turned off and kept out of sight during
exams.
