Policies and Weekly Assignments

• Students enrolled in GEO 314 must also enroll and participate in GEO 314L-01 or GEO 314L-02 (and vice versa)

• In GEO 314 Lab, you will receive a grade separate from that received in GEO 314

• There will be 12 equally weighted laboratory assignments during the semester.

• Attendance at each week's laboratory meeting is mandatory and will be closely monitored. Students are expected to arrive promptly to lab, and stay for the entire lab period.

• Under no circumstances will weekly assignments be accepted from students who were not present for the entirety of the lab meeting on the day the assignment was given.

• If you can't attend your normal lab meeting time, you may attend the other lab section for that particular week. You are not, however, permitted to "hop" between lab sections on a regular basis.

• If you miss one of the 12 weekly labs, you must attend the makeup lab session to be held on Tuesday, May 5, 1998 from 3:30-6:15 p.m. in Graham 109. No more than 1 lab may be made-up!!!!

• All weekly assignments are due at the start of the following week's lab. Late labs (labs turned in after the start of lab) will not be accepted.

• Students are welcome to collaborate in lab. However, everyone is expected to contribute and do their own work. The work you submit must be uniquely yours.

Laboratory Preparation and Prelaboratory Quizzes

• Prior to coming to lab, you are expected to read through and think about that week's scheduled lab. It is critically important to your success in GEO 314 Lab that you do take the time to carefully read the background material and examine the figures and photos in the lab manual in advance of the scheduled laboratory.

• Each week, you will be given a "prelaboratory quiz" at the very beginning of the lab period on the material contained in the "discusssion" section of that week's laboratory exercise

Grades in GEO 314 Lab

• Prelaboratory Quizzes count toward 10% of your grade in GEO 314 Lab
• 2 Exams account for 40% of your GEO 314 Lab grade
• Weekly Exercises are responsible for 50% of your GEO 314 Lab grade
