Lab Rules
- Lab safety is the number one priority. If you are unsure on how to operate the equipment, or believe you may be doing something which might cause harm to you or your classmates, stop and and ask the TA for clarification.
- If you are purposely misusing the equipment in a manner which is obviously unsafe, you will be told to leave, and receive a mark of zero for this experiment.
- Show up on time- the TA will give a short presentation at the beginning of each lab, where you will learn some very useful information. If you show up late, you will miss this. If you show up more than 15 mintues late, the TA can forbid you from performing the experiment, and you will receive a mark of zero.
- You must leave the workstation as you have found it! All the equipment must be exactly in the manner in which you found it. All scraps of paper, eraser bits, and other garbage must be cleaned from the station before you leave. Failure to do so will result in a loss of 25% for that lab.
- Each lab session is 3 hours, there are no provisions made for extra time. 15 minutes before the end of the lab, you should start cleaning up you workstation, and leave the room by the end of the lab session.
