Attendance: Attendance is required for each lab. You should
also be
punctual to all lab sessions. Because of
the fact that
it is difficult to make up missed labs, all effort should be
made to
participate in all regularly scheduled lab sessions.
The lowest of all your lab grades will
be dropped. This,
of course,
means that if you miss a lab for whatever
reason
(illness, transportation problems, etc) it will be
recorded as a
zero but will be dropped in the final grade
calculation. Each
absence after the first
two will lower
your final
letter grade by one full grade. For
instance, if
your final
letter grade is B but you have
missed four
labs, your
final letter grade will be D
