Your lowest lab will be dropped. But use this drop wisely, i.e., do not just skip a lab since all labs are important and your next missed lab may be unavoidable. If you need to miss a single lab, it’s ok; you can not make up the missed lab. (You should do this lab on your own. If necessary, you may visit a TA during an office hour for help.) If you have a valid reason for missing this lab, get documentation for your first missed lab and hold on to it. If you miss a second lab, you must show Dr. Schwartz (not a TA) written documentation for BOTH your first and your second missed labs. This documentation should be official and from a doctor, judge, etc., so that a make-up can be arranged. You must notify the professor prior to your scheduled second missed lab or as soon as possible after your second missed lab. There is rarely an excuse that will allow you to reschedule your first missed lab other than an exam in another course. You must notify the Dr. Schwartz at least 8 days prior to your exam (or other) so that an alternate lab time might be arranged.

· If you believe that you have valid university-related reason for missing a particular lab (e.g., Lab X), send an email to Dr. Schwartz with the following information (with subject: 3744: Conflict with Lab X, where X is the lab number).

o State the cause for missing your Lab X and provide associated documentation for this event.

o Provide a list of each of the Lab X days and periods for which you have no conflict and could attend.

o If this is for an exam in another course, first verify that there are no alternate exam times available. If none, then provide Dr. Schwartz (via email, with subject: 3744: Conflict with Lab X, where X is the lab number) the course number and name, and also your teacher’s name, email, and phone number.

· Labs must be done at scheduled times (except as described above).

· Students must be prepared to demo their lab when they enter. Students will be randomly selected for their demonstration times during their lab period.
