Labs are campus-specific - labs that are written for one campus may include equipment that is not available at another campus. When in doubt, please check with the lab tech on the campus where you are teaching.
Faculty are strongly encouraged to visit the lab at the campus where they are going to teach before the semester begins to familiarize themselves with equipment location and usage.
Instructors are responsible for the labs they teach. They should know how to perform the experiments with assistance from the lab tech/lab assistant.
Lab techs are not expected to teach labs.
