ORGANIZATION | |
| A. |
Attendance of laboratory is
essential since you will be graded upon your lab performance. If you do
miss lab, obtain information and notes from fellow classmates. |
|
| B. |
First hour of laboratory will be
recitation, involving review of thermal-fluid principles as well as
discussion of equipment. Remaining lab hours will be performing
lab experiments. It is crucial that the student prepare before
the lab. |
|
| C. |
Approximately first two-thirds
of semester will involve previously planned experiments. The last
third of semester will involve one student-planned experiment. |

LABORATORY REPORTS |
|
| A. |
Lab reports should be
completed before lecture on the date specified. Students are expected
to
understand all aspects of the experiment and report even though the
experiment and report are completed as a group. Simply copying
from
other students' reports, will
reduce a student's ability to do well in the class. Understanding
the principles of the experiment may require a student to review notes
from previous courses. |
|
| B. |
Each lab group will be composed
of four/five students and each member of the group is expected to
contribute equally to the collective efforts. The reports must
mention the description and percent efforts of each group member. |
|
| Electronic copies of all reports
must be submitted with hard copies on a CD. |
||
| 8. |
EXAM | |
| Closed book and
closed notes. Exam will be related to the experiments performed
and class lectures. |
||
| 9. |
ATTENDANCE |
|
| Attendance is mandatory.
No makeup for the lab experiment or the exam will be given except in
cases such as documented illness and similar reasons, otherwise a
failing grade is given for that missed exam or lab experiment. |
||
| 10. |
DISABILITY SERVICES | |
| The University will make
reasonable accommodations for persons with documented
disabilities. Students need to register with Disability Resource
Services (DRS) every semester they are enrolled for classes. DRS
is located in Counseling & Support Services, 2157 UC. To be assured of having services when they are needed, students should register no later than the 3rd week after the first day of classes. |
