\newcommand\HWandLabPolicy{The submission deadlines of assignments and lab reports will be announced by the instructor. {\color{red} Pre-lab assignments will be collected on Blackboard before the start of the practicum only and will not be accepted after this time period.  These assignments are meant to prepare you for each lab session. A late submission of a lab report or non-pre-lab assignments will be assessed a penalty of 33\% per business week.}

   You are required to maintain an electronic notebook for lab.  {\color{red} All entries into the notebook are to be recorded as the measurements are performed. } Various software tools, such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Matlab, Modelsim, and Quartus, will be used to create the electronic work (Cntl-Print Screen can be used to capture the work).  Each page of the notebook is to be dated and numbered, and an index at the beginning of the notebook should be created.  Each practicum write-up should start with an overview or purpose section followed by a brief procedure section outlining the tasks that were performed.  Pre-lab assignments, calculations, simulations, circuit diagrams, data (tables and graphs), observations, and conclusions are to be recorded in this electronic notebook.  {\color{red} The final version of the electronic notebook will be an Adobe PDF file (pdf only, no word doc files accepted) submitted via Blackboard to the instructor by the due date given at the end of the semester.}}
\newcommand\AttendancePolicy{Attendance is required for all scheduled practicum sessions and will be taken via an attendance sheet. Permission for an excused absence from a session will be granted for the conditions listed below.  It is solely your responsibility to schedule with the TA or instructor a time to make up work of any excused absence session.  For each unexcused practicum absence, your final grade will be lowered by 5 points.

\newcommand\ElectronicsPolicy{\textcolor{red}{Since you opted for a customize electronics policy, you should edit this part. Your policy should address your general stance on recording of class sessions and the circumstances under which recording will be allowed or prohibited. If you generally prohibit recording, yet allow recording of certain classes for some reason, then ypu should notify all students that those classes will be recorded. If recording is permitted as an ADA accommodation for a student, you obviously should not identify that student(s).)}}
