Lab Projects:

On the first day of lab, you will be grouped in teams of two for working on the projects. You will each receive your own login ID that will provide you with access to the SAP system so that you may also work independently after completing the projects.

Note: You will not be allowed to work in the lab during an SAP lab session other than the one you are registered for. Friday is considered to be open lab. You are more than welcome to come in then.

You are to work together with your team-mate to complete the projects and turn in the final write-up; one write-up per team.

Note, however, that the Final Project is to be worked on independently!
It is your (the team's) responsibility to turn in the lab projects at the beginning of lecture on the dates indicated above. It is not the responsibility of the Lab T/A's !
The T/A's are present in the labs to help with hardware problems and assist in solving other general problems (such as forgotten passwords, etc.). They are not there to do the lab assignments for you!
Project write-up forms will be handed out in class and will also be available for downloading from the class Web page.
Answers to the projects will be posted on the Web page at the time they are due.

Late Projects:

Projects turned in after the deadlines shown above will automatically have 1/2 of the possible points deducted prior to grading. So please turn in your projects at the beginning of lecture on the dates indicated above!

No projects will be accepted after 2 weeks beyond the project's original due date.

Examinations:

Exams cover material from the reading assignments, lectures, and lab projects. They will be of the form: multiple choice, true/false, and short answer. The exams are both open book and open notes, and cover the material presented up to the date of the exam. The Final exam is not considered to be cumulative, though knowledge of the material presented during the first half of the semester may be helpful in answering some of the questions on the Final.
