\newcommand\gradingPolicy{Each lab assignment will be graded on a 100-point scale. The due date of each lab assignment will be specified when it is assigned in the Blackboard. You must have each step checked off by the instructor or the TA before you submit final files in the Blackboard. Your final grade will depend on how many lab assignments you complete and by your attendance record. 

Late lab submissions will be accepted up to two weeks after the due day. Two points will be deducted from your lab grade for each unexcused absence. 

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

\newcommand\HWandLabPolicy{There are six lab assignments that must be done in the order this semester. 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 the lab assignment. No lab reports are required.

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

No prep-work.

All items completed by the end of the third lab session for Lab \#1.
