The rest of the labs will be held in 204b Cory. There are also two complete lab setups in the Student IEEE office, 204A Cory.EECS150 - Fall 2001 1-7Laboratory PoliciesBe aware of your environment, and take responsibility for your safety.Take good care of the lab. Report any equipment problems to your TA, and make a log entry in the lab logbook. Do not modify any hardware or software.No eating or drinking in lab at any time. Lab must be left clean and orderly after each session. After the first week you will be given your individual account for which you will be responsible. Do not share your account/password, do not leave without logging out, and do not abuse the privilege.EECS150 - Fall 2001 1-8PoliciesHomeworks are posted on Thursdays, collected the following Friday at noon. Submit assignments to CS150 box, on door of Cory 218.It is excellent practice to complete as much of your laboratory as you can before you actually arrive for your lab. Computers in349 Davis are available with cardkey access for your use 24/7.TA's will help with problems and check off labs. If you don't get checked off during your assigned lab, you can get checked off during the TA's office hours or during the Make-Up lab ONLY. Labs must be checked off by Friday at noon during the week it is assigned for you to receive full credit. Half credit will be assigned for getting checked off up to one week late.EECS150 - Fall 2001 1-9PoliciesStudents will work in groups of two. Your partner can be anyone from your assigned section, and can change from week to week.For the final project, you MUST select a partner from your lab section. Choose your lab section carefully.If you want to change lab sections, you need to find someone who can swap with you. The head TA Mike Lowey is responsible for all lab section changes.The 204B lab is only open during lab sessions and TA office hours. It is reserved at other times for TA/staff maintenance and development. For your convenience, 349 Davis is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
