Notes: (1) No make-up exam will be given unless an arrangement is made at least 24-hour prior
to the exam, or for uncontrollable reasons.
(2) Each homework assignment is worth 1 point. As long as you make the effort to
complete each homework assignement and turned in your answers on time, you will
receive full credit without any reduction even you made mistakes. On the othe hand,
reduction will be made if you did not complete the assignment or if you did not turn
in your answers by the due date (10% reduction per day of delay).

Lab 13

(term paper)

Note:
1. Each student should use a lab notebook to record the experimental results during the lab.
2. Answers to pre-lab questions and lab report should be prepared and printed using one of the
word processing programs.
3. Lab 13 is a term paper per ABET requirement: Knowledge of ontemporary issues. Because of
labor day, veterans day and Thanksgiving, the 12 regular labs are stretched to the last week
of class. Therefore, you should work on the term paper of lab 13 early, not after lab 12. Your
lab TA will tell you the due date for Lab 13.
