*all lab write-ups are due on Mondays or Fridays by 3 pm. There is a 10% late penalty for every day that a report is late. For example, a report due by 3:00 pm on Monday 11/18 would receive a 10% penalty if turned in anytime between 3:01 pm on Mon 11/18 and 3:00 pm on Tues 11/19, a 20% penalty if turned in anytime between 3:01 pm on Tues 11/19 and 3:00 pm on Wed 11/20, etc.
**Miscellaneous lab assignments, which may include periodic unannounced lab notebook checks, will be worth a total of 20 points, for a total of 300 lab points for the semester.
***Group assignments will be given a group grade. Peer evaluations will be submitted with each group report. If these evaluations and/or my own observations indicate that any individual is not contributing fully to group work, that individual will be required to submit individual reports, both for those assignments already completed and for any subsequent group assignments.
