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-).

Online Lab System

This year we are piloting a new online system for submitting labs. We are doing this for two reasons. First, it is a way to give you immediate feedback on your own time. In addition, it allows students who need to miss a lab for whatever reason to make it up.

The online system is completely optional. This is bleeding-edge software and we have not stress-tested it on a class of nearly 600 students yet. In addition, the online system requires exact answers for everything. Since labs are graded on effort, not correctness, you might find it easier to work with the handout instead.

We will post the link to the online system here as it becomes available.

Lab Schedule

The weekly labs in this class are tentatively listed in the table below. Because of the new online lab system, most of the labs are being revamped and are not yet available. The first column links to the online version of the lab, while the third column links to the normal handout instructions.
