Phys 101 Lab Policy (261)

Grading Policy

• The lab grade counts for 50 of 400 points (12.5% of the PHYS101/102 course grade).
• The grade is based entirely on lab reports (no quizzes).
• The average for each lab section is 40 out of 50.
• Students' lab reports should be graded and returned to students within one week of submission. 
  

Lab Attendance Policy

• The student must arrive at the lab on time. Latecomers may not be allowed into the lab.
• A DN grade shall be given to any student with 3 or more unexcused absences in the lab. A DN grade shall also be given if the student has a total of 5 excused and/or unexcused absences.
• Students are responsible for coordinating with the lab instructor to make-up a missed lab if they are absent with an official excuse; otherwise, they will receive a zero for that lab. The only exception applies when the excused absence occurs on the last lab day of the week, making it impossible for the student to attend a makeup lab with another section. In such a case, the student’s average lab grade will be assigned to the missed lab.
• The instructor may allow students who were absent with an official excuse to attend a make-up lab in another section. A student may not attend another section for a make-up without written permission from their lab instructor. Personal excuses are not accepted. Only excuses from Student Affairs (the blue letter with a QR code) are accepted.
• During the lab session, the student is not allowed to leave the lab without the lab instructor's permission. Otherwise, the student will be considered absent.
  

General lab policy

1. It's the student’s responsibility to check the lab grades with the instructor before it is submitted to the coordinator. Once submitted, it will not be changed.
2. Using mobile phones is not allowed in the labs. Students should keep their phones in their pockets or bags. Any student showing a phone should be considered a cheating case.
3. Students must bring the supplies they need, such as a lab notebook (graph notebook), pencil, ruler, calculator, and eraser.
4. Students will download the write-up for each experiment from the PHYS101/102 website (Lab Schedule).
5. Students will read the write-up, conduct the experiment, then write the report in their notebooks.
6. Students are expected to work in groups during data collection. Then, each student has to write their own report and answer the questions individually, without sharing it with others. Any cheating, copying, or sharing of lab reports will result in severe consequences according to the university policy.
7. Students should complete their lab work during the lab session, and the instructor must collect all the reports before leaving the lab.
8. According to the Labs' safety guidelines, food and beverages are not allowed in the Labs.
9. The student must leave the lab space clean and tidy, return the tools to their boxes, and disconnect any electrical wires before leaving.
