• Student-Arranged Laboratory Assignment: Students rehearse Lab 02 before performing the lab next Monday. Rehearse by yourself, or with others, as a homework assignment. This is important - to help you learn and to reduce the likelihood you and your partner will run out of time during the lab.
  
  
• DUE: Lab01 printouts:
  ☘ Class turns in Lab 01 printouts on Wednesday, February 13.
  Before class time begins, one partner from each team puts the printouts required for Lab 01 on the 'counter' in front of me (see the directions for the lab). All partners check the printouts in advance to make sure they are correct. WARNING: You must turn in printouts on time. Late submissions will not be accepted and the team will receive a zero score for Lab 01.
