YOU MUST READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS: A. Assigned Reading ix-xiii and have the signed released form ready to hand in on the first day of class. B. Assigned Reading How to write a scientific Paper or Lab Report ,Exercise 1 and 2 (pp xv-18)

**YOU WILL BE TESTED ON YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF ASSIGNED READINGS DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF CLASS**

GRADING: Lecture: 60% Lab: 40% Quizzes - 40% Pre Lab Report/Post Lab Report 40% Practical 10% Technical 10% ATTENDANCE: Attendance to the lab are mandatory, any missed labs may be made up during the same week of the lab missed. Make up labs are at the discretion of the Professor and the Head TA. This is a PRIVILEGE and not a right. If permission is granted you must make an appointment with the HEAD TA to reserve a seat in the make-up lab. 2 missed labs will constitute a failing grade. 2 late nesses will constitute an absence.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR CLASS: 1. Read ahead and prepare a Pre-lab to be handed in before you start class. The Pre-labs will be graded.
