PHYS 103 LAB POLICY

 

 

  1. The lab is a 2-hour class. Students should use the full lab period for doing the experiment and preparing the lab report. It is expected that experiments and lab reports be finished within the lab period. The lab book report should be checked by the instructor before leaving the lab.
  2. You should come to each lab class prepared. Lab work and participation will be part of your grade.
  3. If you cannot finish the experiment because of legitimate reasons, consult the instructor on what procedures to follow.
  4. If you cannot finish the lab report during the class period, consult the instructor on what procedures to follow.
  5. Make-up labs will be granted only if the missed lab is due to an authorized absence. Please consult the academic policy on absence in the MU catalog.
  6. One missed lab will result in “incomplete” final grade!
  7. Three missed labs result automatically in course failure!
  8. You are encouraged to discuss your work and results with your lab partners and the instructor. However, the analysis and conclusion parts of your lab report must be expressed in your own words to demonstrate your comprehension of the lab. Completely identical lab reports or parts of them will be not tolerated! Please consult the Brochure on Academic Honesty and Dishonesty at MU.
  9. At the end of the lab period, please leave the station arranged neatly and the equipment as you found it at the beginning of the lab.
  10.  Please, no food and drinks in the lab room! Please, do not use cell phones in class!
