\newcommand\gradingPolicy{Your grade will depend on how many labs you complete and by your attendance record. Lab grade points and the due date will be specified when each lab is posted in the Blackboard. 
For incomplete or late labs, a further two points will be deducted from your final
lab grade for each unexcused absence. 

Note: Attendance for less than half the formal lab session time will be counted as an absence unless you have finished all the work.

\newcommand\HWandLabPolicy{There are six labs to be done this semester. The six labs must be done in order. Each lab assignment comes
with an instruction sheet and sometimes additional material. 
Some labs have ‘prep-work’ that must be
completed prior to the start of lab. No lab reports are necessary, but some uploads are required.

To pass a lab, all the bolded demonstration and check off points in the lab instructions and all submission items need to be
completed by the due dates.


\indent \subsubsection*{Lab \#1}
No prep-work.

All items completed by the end of the third lab session for Lab \#1.
\subsubsection*{Lab \#2}
Prep-work: Part 2.1 uploaded before start of first Lab\#2 session.

Prep-work: Part 2.4 uploaded before start of second Lab\#2 session.

All items complete and uploaded by the end of the second session for Lab \#2.
\subsubsection*{Lab \#3} 
No prep-work.

All items complete and uploaded by end of second session for Lab \#3.
\subsubsection*{Lab \#4} 
Prep-work: Part 4.2 (Logic expressions) uploaded before start of first Lab \#4 session.

Part 4.3 (Logic expressions) uploaded before start of second Lab \#4 session.

All items checked off by the end of the second session for Lab \#2.

No prep-work.

All items completed and uploaded by end of second session for Lab \#6.}
