Lab Safety Form
TAs will go over safety procedures at the beginning of the first lab session. Follow along, read, and sign this document once you understant the safety procedures. Safety Form (PDF), Safety Form (DOC)
Structured Pairing
For a given lab, you and your lab partner will exchange roles for each part of the lab. The roles you will switch between are the "Driver" and "Navigator". Your TAs will review the expectations of these roles, and will help facilitate your group using these roles during lab.
Please also review the following documents and poster for an overview on what structured pairing is: Overview (PDF), Poster (JPEG)
Lab Feedback
Please fill out the Online Feedback Form after every lab.
Lab Demo videos
The TAs have put together the following videos, to help clarify what functionality is expected to be demoed for each lab ( UNDER CONSTRUCTION ). Lab Demo Videos ( Out dated demos )
