Laboratories and Recitations:
There are 12 required laboratory/recitation sessions that will cover material in greater detail than the lectures permit. Attendence is mandatory. The will be no make-up labs or quizzes or assignment deadline extensions. If you miss a lab or class, it is imperative that you make contact with your TA at the earliest oppurtunity to find out what you missed. You should attend labs fully prepared. You should have completed all of the readings and familiarize yourself with the material to be covered. Each lab will have a quiz or written assignment associated with it. Assignments are due promptly at the beginning of the following laboratory/recitation.
 
Course Requirements:
Attendence: It is important that you attend lectures. Much of the material is not fully covered in the readings or labs. Any subject covered in lecture, lab/recitations, or any of the readings may be covered on the midterm and final.
Courtesy: Do not disturb the class! We expect you to be punctual. Cell phones and pagers must be turned off prior to class. A ringing cell phone or beeper will result in a reduced course grade!

Lab/Recitation section assignments (50%), Midterm (20%), Final (30%)
