LABORATORIES

You must attend the lab section for which you are registered. If you
are unable to register for a lab section that fits into your schedule,
please talk to the TA or Instructor Tattersall....and keep trying to
register. If someone drops the section you want, you may get in by the
second week of classes.

There are 8 labs. There are no labs the first week and no labs
Thanksgiving week.

Your lowest lab score will automatically be dropped. This means if you
miss one lab, your zero score for that lab will be dropped. Therefore,
you need not worry if you are sick or have an appointment that causes
you to miss lab once.

You must attend lab for the full 2 hours in order to receive credit for
any work you turn in. You may leave lab early only if you turn in your
completed work to your TA before leaving. Labs are designed to be done
during the two hour lab meeting time. This means that you should
usually complete the lab and turn it in the day it is assigned. Some
people like to take labs home and check over them again, or may not have
quite finished. To accomodate these people, labs are officially due two
weekdays after you did them in class. To turn in labs after the day
they were assigned, please take them to your TA's office or to the
Geoscience Office in Wilkinson Hall with your TA's name clearly written
in big letters at the top of the page. Labs will not be accepted more
than 2 weekdays after the day they were assigned. Weekdays are Monday
through Friday.
