Although listed by the Registrar as worth zero credit, labs are not optional. You must be registered for a section of lab and a section of ``lecture." In the labs, you will have the chance to collaborate with your fellow classmates in teams of two or three students. This work will frequently involve computers using software such as True BASIC, Derive, and Excel, but no prior knowledge of computers or programming is necessary. The lab is a place where you will explore the content of the course in more depth, both because the computers can perform so many computations so quickly and because your team will generally prepare a written report based on your work in lab. Labs are your opportunity to struggle with the difficult skill of successfully communicating your ideas and actively listening to the ideas of others as you work together in groups to produce well-written lab reports and essays.

Please consider the handout on Lab Team Writing Assignments while writing your lab reports. Please make sure that your cover page is the official Grade Allocation for Lab Team Writing Assignments cover sheet.
