Expectations of Lab Students:

Grading:

There will be 10 labs during the session. They will consist of a PreLab, Data Analysis (in lab) and a Post Lab. Each of these will have a corresponding WebAssign. Pre Labs will be worth 20%; Data Analysis will be 50% and Post Labs will be 30% of the final lab grades. Please note the due dates, as extensions will only be given for extreme circumstances by the Director of Instructional Laboratories.

Your overall lab grade is worth 10% of your overall class grade. If you receive less than a 50% in lab you will receive an F in the lecture class, regardless of your other grades in lecture. Also, your lowest grade will not be dropped.

Plagiarism and Working Together:

Please complete all webassign free response questions in your own words. Data collected from previous semesters (even if it was collected by YOU) or data that is collected by your group members while you were not present, is not acceptable. All suspected plagiarism will be evaluated and action will be taken to punish the violators.

Attendance:

Arrive on time, if you are more than 10 minutes late for your scheduled lab, you will be asked to leave and you will not be able to make up the lab.

If you miss a lab please consult the Makeup Labs section below.

Makeup Labs:

If you miss a lab please fill out the making-up a lab form[PDF]. Notice that you need to get your lecture professor to sign the form. Without a form you will not be admitted to another lab. Please note that you can only make up a lab if you missed because of a family emergency, a university sponsored event or an illness (with a doctors note) (NOTE: For FALL 2009 and SPRING 2010 the requirement to provide a doctor’s note is waived to reduce the flow of students to Student Health due to possible flu outbreaks). If you missed for another reason you can not make up a lab.


Once you have the form signed you need to attend another scheduled section of the lab and turn in your make up form to the TA. However, if you wish to attend a section that already is full(24 students registered) than the students registered for that section have priority and you will be asked to leave if the lab is full. 24 students total can not be exceeded for someone to make up a lab.

If you have missed all scheduled lab sections for the lab you missed then you must contact the Director of Instructional Laboratories immediately.
