Electronic versions of in-class labs will be posted here in .pdf form. If you miss a lab YOU are responsible for completing it and handing it in by two classes after the date you miss. If the lab requires materials that you don’t have access to at home, you must schedule a time to make it up with me (although the scheduling may vary, you must schedule the makeup lab within the same time frame – by two classes after the missed lab).
****Keep in mind that this is a lab course! Labs are worth 30% of your total grade and I will NOT be dropping any of them.
