Note:

• All lab assignments can be found in your lab manual.
• All assignments are due into the appropriate hand-in box (located outside the tutorial room) before the start of your next laboratory session.
• remember to write the lab summary at the top of your report! During my lab i saw many a student having to run back and waste valuable money printing again because they forgot to mention the lab summary

Just a little tip - If you've realized you've missed something out on your lab report (eg attaching a screenshot/picture) after you've handed it in to the dropbox. Its not the end of the world, either find Ann Cameron or someone teaching in the Lab and ask them to open it up for you.

Lab Attendance

Each week, you must attend the laboratory session that you are enrolled in.

Arrive promptly on time since attendance is checked by the lab tutor who will sign your lab report cover sheet.

10% of the marks for each lab are awarded for lab attendance.

To pass the practical component this course

You must obtain at least 50% or 42.5 out of the 85 possible marks. This will be easy if your attendance is good and if you work through the questions properly. If you have any problems there are very helpful tutors you can ask questions.
