You must complete all FIVE laboratory exercises I to V. Lab V will be done at the Fuertes Observatory on the first clear evening of a day when your lab is scheduled to meet. If you are scheduled for an evening lab and your lab has not already completed V, call the Fuertes Observatory (5-3557) after 6:30 p.m. for a recorded message. If you are scheduled for an afternoon lab and have not completed V, attend your regularly scheduled afternoon session. If that evening is suitable, there will ALSO be an observing session for your lab. Call the Observatory after 6:30 p.m. for instructions. If your lab has completed exercises I to IV and the weather does not cooperate on the day of your last scheduled lab meeting, you should go to Fuertes to do Lab V, regardless of the weather. Labs I - IV meet in Clark 132.

NO LABS will meet the week of October 9 (Fall Break) or November 20 (Thanksgiving).
MAKEUP POLICY: Because labs are offered 4 times each semester, students should be able to complete all five exercises during the regular 10-week lab period. If you anticipate being unable to attend your regular lab session, you may do the lab in another section, with permission of the TA. If you miss a lab, you must report the reason for your absence to your lab TA within one week of missing the lab. At the end of the semester, make-up labs will be offered ONLY to those students with EXCUSED ABSENCES.
