• Lab assignments are worth a total of 30% of your grade.

• Each lab assignment is individually weighted.  Most labs will be worth one point, but later in the semester when labs become more difficult and / or span over more than one lab session, more than one point per lab assignment may be given.  Labs will be worth one point unless otherwise stated on the lab assignment.

• Partial credit can be given on labs (such as 0.75 on a 1 point lab).

• Each lab assignment is due by midnight (no later than 11:59 p.m.) on the date of the second lab section (Wednesdays and Fridays - see each individual lab for due dates).

• No credit will be given if the lab is late (even one second late is considered late).

• No credit or partial credit will be given if the lab does not satisfy the requirements listed for that particular lab.
