Chapter 4 Laboratory Schedule
This course has four hands-on laboratories to enhance your learning experience. LABS BEGIN THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 21. While the labs are entirely online, each Lab/ Practical Section has a dedicated TA that is your primary point of contact for questions related to the course. Labs will be hosted by your TA via Bb Collaborate - please join the correct session.
Your TA will be available for scheduled in-person consultations related to lab assignments. Please note then you are responsible for adding a practical/ lab section through ROSI/ACORN. If you would like to switch lab sections, you are also responsible for dropping the previous one.
Schedules for a given student’s practical are shown in Table 4.1.

ALL Assignments must be submitted online via Quercus. Please upload a pdf version of your assignment before the due date Please see Table 4.2 for each lab’s due date.
Unfortunately, it is next to impossible to keep track of the hundreds of students in this class and as such, late assignments will NOT be accepted and will be given a mark of ZERO To ensure fairness to all students, this rule will be followed very strictly.
The only time a late assignment will be accepted is if a student suffers a medical issue that interferes with completing the assignment and is substantiated by a doctor’s note (above a grade of “moderate”), given to your TA (who will forward to the Professor).
Keep in mind that assignments are worth 15% each, for a total of 60% of your final grade, so a zero on an assignment can be very, very detrimental to your final mark. Students cannot submit assignments through e-mail, nor can they “slip them under the door”. These assignments are likely to be lost. Please note that student petitions to resubmit lost assignments allegedly submitted in this fashion are generally denied. We will strive for as short a turnaround in marking assignments as is possible so that you regularly know where you stand (~2 weeks).
