There will be no make-ups for the one-hour exams except in truly extraordinary circumstances for which the student comes to the instructor before the exam to plan a make-up. Only 8 of the 10 labs will count toward grading, so there will be no make-up laboratories.

Laboratory is a key part of the course. Lab does not meet during the first week of class. Eating and drinking in laboratory is not allowed.
Students With Disabilities:
I need to hear from anyone who has a disability which may require some modification of seating, testing or other class requirements so that appropriate arrangements may be made. Please see me after class or during my office hours.
