Note I:      An early warning for those that do not read this schedule until the night before lab!  The pre-labs for the two experiments that are scheduled next should be started a few days early, since they involve use of computers and software.

Note II:     On Thursday, Aug. 8, besides monitoring the make-up labs, a lab instructor will be available during both lab sections 1 and 2 to provide additional help in preparing for the final exam (if you have no make-up lab to do!)

Note III:   Note that next week’s lab is not the next one in the manual! Be sure you prepare for the correct lab each week!
