Laboratory Schedule

The laboratory section of this course is designed to supplement the material presented in lecture. Ideally, all material discussed in lab will have already been presented in lecture; however, there will be cases in which a topic will first be addressed in the laboratory, and then reviewed or elaborated upon in lecture. It is essential that the student attend BOTH lab and lecture to ensure successful performance in the course.

*No classes are scheduled for Monday, Sept. 4 (Labor Day), or Monday, Nov. 13 (Veterans Day). Students registered for labs on Monday will be required to attend another lab during these weeks. Sign up sheets will be available in lab the previous week.
