Lab Assignments

The table below lists the assignments that you will be expected to hand in during the course along with the due dates. The assignments are based on the "Labs" that you find in your textbook. You may use the CD-ROM included with your text to do these labs.

Each "Lab" has two parts: Steps and Explore. You are expected to do only the Steps portion of the Lab for your assignments. It is recommended that you proceed with the Explore portion to further your understanding of the concepts.

When you are doing the Steps portion, the Lab will ask you some "Quick Check" questions. Please respond to these. When you finish the Steps, you will see a review of your responses. Print out two copies of this report (click "Print" twice). Hand one copy to the instructor and keep the other for your records.

Remember that your session is not saved on the computer. Once you exit, all your answers are erased. Make sure you print your responses before exiting.
