Labs are to be submitted BEFORE the start time of your lab, usually in 2 weeks time. If your lab starts at 2:00, any submission past 2:00\u00a0will be deemed late. Weekends count as one day. So if the lab is out of 36 marks, and you received 30\/36 but were 4 days late handing it in, your mark will be 26\/36.\u00a0Late labs will only be accepted before the labs are handed back\u00a0(ie. you cannot hand in a lab after your lab group has had them handed back, marked). If you are unable to complete a lab in time, you must contact your TA before the lab is due. Late Policy for Final Project is 1% a day. So, the final project is worth 25% of your mark. If you end up getting 20\/25, so a grade of 20% and you were 2 days late, you and all members of your group would receive 18%\/25% on the final project\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Class conduct:\u00a0<\/strong>Be respectful: of your fellow classmates during class, of your Instructor especially over email, and your TA.
