  1. Be sure to get all assignments to me by the due date.  Email malfunctions, computer breakdowns, printer problems, and fax faux pas are not accepted as excuses.  It is your responsibility to get them to me on time.  Note that late work will not be accepted.

 

  1. Attend all lab meetings and arrive on time. Car problems, alarm clock confusion, traffic congestion, work schedule conflicts, etc. may all occur at one time or another. Keep them to a minimum.

  

  1. Homework assignments:
    1. Will not be accepted late.
    2. Can be emailed, faxed, or handed in.
    3. Must be typed.
    4. Use complete sentences to answer the questions.
    5. Include a form of the question in your answers.
    6. Always spell check and proof read before submitting.

 

  1. Lab Reports:
    1. After completing a lab experiment, you have until the next lab meeting to hand it in. 
    2. Although all lab experiments are done with partners, everyone must hand in his or her own lab report. 
    3. Any lab not completed results with a grade of zero.  There are no make up labs, however, the lowest lab report will be dropped.  You are responsible for the material covered in every lab exercise.
    4. Some labs require safety goggles.  You will not be permitted to complete the lab if you do not have appropriate safety equipment. 

  

 

  1. Email:
    1. Everyone must have his or her own email account.  If you do not have an account, sign up for free email with yahoo immediately.
