There are eight lab assignments this semester, which must be done in order. 
Lab due dates will be posted when they are assigned in Blackboard.
Please ask the instructor or TA to check you off after each major step of a lab.

Your lab work will be submitted to Blackboard. 
Each lab tells you what to submit at the end of the description. 
Please append the name of all your submission files with your last name, e.g. for John Doe Lab1\_Doe.zip. 
Your code must be compiled and tested without any errors before submitting. 
There is no lab report required. 
Some labs have prelab readings that must be completed prior to the start of the lab assignment.}
