Study Hints: Prepare yourself before attending class by reading any assigned materials. You will need to plan on several hours of reading per week. If you do not understand something from your reading then make a note of it and ask questions during class.

Always bring your textbook and workbook to class. You may need to refer to it during class lectures and labs. For your homework and laboratory assignments be sure to read the instruction before you start. Plan your work.

Laboratory Etiquette: After completing your laboratory assignments you should leave the work area in proper order. Ensure that you return all equipment and supplies to their proper location and collect any items that belong to you.

Laboratory Success: The two biggest problems in the labs are: Student not reading instructions carefully, and making assumptions about components, connections, procedures, etc. PLEASE READ ALL OF THE LAB introduction and instructions carefully before beginning work. If in doubt, ask the instructor!

Laboratory Safety Standards: A safe laboratory environment is essential. Safety procedures are most often given during the lecture period. If, in the opinion of the instructor, you are unaware of the proper safety procedures for a particular laboratory exercise because of excessive absences or failure to demonstrate competency, you may not be allowed to participate in that exercise. Failure to demonstrate appropriate competency of safety or follow safety procedures may result in your removal from lab or, at the instructor’s discretion, removal from the class roster.

Any questions as to the proper operation of equipment or concerns that it is not operating as it should and may need repairs should be brought to the attention of the instructor, as soon as possible.
