What to Expect for Most Lab Sessions

carbon copy of your Pre-Lab Report during the first 10 minutes
of the lab session. |
At the Beginning of the Lab Session...
 | Submit (during the first 10 minutes of the lab
session) your Formal (Final) Report for the previous experiment
(if required). |
 | Submit (during the first 10 minutes of the lab
session) a carbon copy of your Pre-Lab Report. |
 | Listen to the pre-lab lecture given by your Graduate Instructor.
He/she will describe any procedural changes to the experiment, as well as
issues related to safety and waste disposal.
Do not open your lab drawer, or begin taking out equipment, until your
Graduate Instructor has finished the pre-lab lecture. |

 | Submit carbon copies of the pages from your lab notebook on which
you recorded data, calculations, observations, etc. during the lab session to
your Graduate Instructor before you leave the lab. This is your
