Introduction to Computer Science
CompSci 101 : Spring 2014

Labs let you experiment with course topics in more detail than is possible in a large lecture setting. You are expected to attend the same lab section each week. If you need to go to a different section one week, please check in with the person running that section to make sure your attendance is recorded.

Submission

Submit each week's lab worksheet, either individually or as part of a team of up to four, by the end of day on which you attend lab — lab work cannot be made up later.

One lab during the semester can be missed with no penalty and attendance will not be officially taken for the first lab (during Add/Drop period). If you cannot attend any lab section in a given week, you are expected to complete the material on your own and submit the lab worksheet by the end of day on Sunday of that week.

You will work in teams of up to four during lab and at least one person from each team must bring a laptop to lab each week. When working in a team, if you were not there or your team determines that you did not participate in the exercises, your name should not be included on the final submission. Your lab work will be graded on a 0, 1, 2, or 3 point scale and based on how complete the answers are on the form (absent, there in body only, clear effort, good and complete answers).

Grades will be posted on Sakai. All care will be taken to make sure that grades are accurately calculated and reported. However, mistakes happen. If you believe there is an error in your grade, we want to fix it. Use this Google form to report your concern.
