<p> For your first lab report, I am offering a Lab Report Review, where you can schedule a time to come to my office so I can look at your completed (or nearly completed) lab report and offer some helpful comments before you submit the report to the TA for marking. You can sign-up up a lab review using the online system (see below) scheduled on or before January 22, 2014. </p>
