CompSci 101 : Fall 2013

Labs are intended to give you a chance to practice and explore the 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. Attempting to do the lab work each week will give you a good sense of how well you are keeping up with the course material.

Submission

It is required that you, individually or as part of a team of no more than 4 students, submit that week's lab worksheet by 8am the day after you attend lab each week to get credit for that week's lab — lab work cannot be made up later. Each student will be given one excused absence and attendance will not be officially taken for the first two labs (the Add/Drop period).

You will work in teams of three or 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, very good and complete answers).

Grades and points are normally posted in 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. Please use this Google form to report the error.
