\

\  

\
\ Makeup Policy
\
\ Students are responsible for getting notes from other students when absent. Lab activities will continue on schedule. Individuals will not receive credit for making up activities and there will not be special lab sessions. Some work can be caught up during regular lab times. Missing lab activities may prevent individuals from completing lab projects.
\

\ Homework :Homework/Quizzes, Projects and Final
