Labs

Labs are held every week, during section. You will not be graded on your performance during lab, though you are expected to do them. Up to two labs may be missed; any more unexcused absences and we reserve the right to reduce your course grade (e.g. B goes to B-).

The weekly labs in this class are tentatively listed in the table below. Many of the labs are being revamped, and hence are not yet available. When the lab becomes available, a link below in the Lab column will take you to a page with more instructions.
