This page is for you to retrieve the explanations and questions for each laboratory assignment.  There are 5 laboratory assignments for this course from the four laboratory sessions.  Thus, note that session 4 provides content and data for assignments 4 and 5.  Click on the following topic links to retrieve a Word document providing all assignments explanations and questions.  An added link to an Excel file will also be available for lab sessions that involve data processing and table and/or graphic presentation.

I recommend that you use the Word file from each link as your front page of each lab assignment.

General Directions

All assignments are to be original work, which also means no group work and submissions!  Type your answers and submit print outs (no emailed electronic submissions please) of the work in person on the date specified on the course calendar.  Late work will be accepted, but not proof read and returned in prompt fashion!  Missed submissions will receive a zero (0) grade for that assignment.

Type your assignment answers as follows: Arial font, 12 font size, single spaced lines.  See my Sample Submission for guidance.  I recommend that you use my assignment sheet as your original template to work from for your answers.
