Schedule for Fall 2007, 16-Week Session

See the calendar and the schedule.

Exam and Lab Assignment Submittal Requirements

You may take the exams at any time during my normal office hours or during any scheduled lab period.  You may submit lab assignments attached to email messages at any time.

Failure to meet a schedule requirement

Failure to complete an exam or submit a lab assignment by the deadline shown below will result in a maximum score of zero on the missed exam or the missed lab assignment.  There will be no makeup opportunity for missed exams or lab assignments..  Therefore, I recommend that you complete the exams and the lab assignments early to avoid a last-minute problem (such as a flat tire) that would cause you to lose credit.

Exam and lab assignment submittal schedule requirements

The first exam as well as lab Assignments 1 through 4 must be submitted and in the possession of Prof. Baldwin not later than the end of the lab period at 11:15am on Monday, October 22, 2007.  (Extended by one week due to Labor Day holiday.)

The second exam as well as lab assignments 5 through 10 must be submitted and in the possession of Prof. Baldwin not later than the end of the lab period at 11:15am on Monday, December 10, 2007.
