Lab Grade :
Your attentiveness to your
work while in the lab is important not only for you, but it also helps create (or detract from) a learning
environment. Because many of you seem to not understand this concept, you will
receive a lab grade every day we are in the lab. This grade is non-negotiable.
This will make up 15% of your final grade, under “class participation.”
