Phys 101 Lab Policy (Term 223)

 Grading Policy: The lab grade constitutes 20% of the Phys101 course. The grade is distributed as follows:

• It is up to the instructor to give pre-lab or post lab quizzes.
• All students' works (reports and quizzes) should be graded and returned to students one week after the submission. 
• The final lab grade will be normalized to 14/20.

• Using mobile phone is not allowed in the labs. Student should keep their mobiles in their pockets or their bags, any student showing his mobile should be considered as a cheating case.
• Students must bring the supplies they need such as, Lab notebook (graph notebook), pencil, ruler, calculator, eraser … etc.
• Students will download the write-up of each experiment from Phys website (Phys 101 Lab Schedule).
• Students will read the write-up, do the experiment then write the report in their notebooks.
• Students are expected to work in groups during the collection of data. Then, each student must write his/her own report and answer the questions individually and not shar it with others. Any cheating, copying, or sharing attempts of the lab reports will be dealt with severe consequences according to the university policy.
• Students should finish their lab work during the lab session and the instructor must collect all the reports before leaving the lab.
• The role of the lab instructor is not to give a lecture. The instructor will spend the lab period interacting with students, monitoring their performance and answering their questions. 
• According to the Labs safety guidelines, food and beverages are not allowed in the labs.
• The student must leave the lab space in a clean and tidy manner, return the tolls to their boxes, and disconnect any electrical wires.
