If you do this, the higher of your two scores will count as your Lab 2 score, which is worth 5% of your final grade or 50 points out of 1000. The lower of the two scores will count for up to 20 points on your final grade (i.e., a full-credit score on the second lab will count for 20 points); this score can be applied to replace a missed Lab 1 or low score or missed or low Observing score or one missed or low homework score.

Homework

Questions Posted on Compass

Homework will be posted on Compass each Friday (except the Friday before an exam) and will be due by the star of class the following Friday. Late homework can never be accepted.

You may speak to the instructors and to your classmates about the homework problems. However, you should make sure that you understand every aspect of every problem, and you are responsbile for your own answers. Be assured that some of the exam questions will be very similar to previous homework assignments!
