P ost Laboratory Report - 3 0% Practical Examination/ Post Lab Quiz At the end of every t wo experiments a p ost lab report will be delivered and presented by group of students as part of the course requirements. Questions are based on the performed experiments. A total of two laboratory report for this semester. In case you are absent during report … You may ask the help of your instructor( messenger, or email ) for your schedule report. Maximum of five days are given to student who have are absent during the scheduled presentation.
Course REQUIREMENTS Laboratory Report- There will be ( 2 ) Laboratory Reports for this semester. First Laboratory Report Second Laboratory report Measurements Graphical Analysis Vectors 4. Uniformly Accelerated Linear Motion 5. Projectile Motion 6. Static Equilibrium
Practical Examination - 20% For this semester, we will divide the class into five (5) groups with four(4) members. There will be only two Practical examination for this semester. In case you are absent during instruction/ consultation… You may ask the help of your instructor( messenger, email or text) You need to pass your project before the scheduled deadline of submission. You may ask your peer or group leader for additional instruction
On Time Submission of Requirements For this semester, There will be six( 6) experiments, two(2) post laboratory report and one project. Experiments are done in group but post laboratory reports are delivered individually. There is only one project assigned per group and should be submitted on the last day of the Schedule Final Examination at the end of semester( ask your instructor for the schedule date of submission) Deadlines set by the class and the teacher should be honored. Late submission of requirements will be deducted accordingly ( instructor decisions) .
House Rules When you are absent - --send a message through email or messenger to inform you r instructor ahead of time during experiment or post laboratory for scheduled special examination. be marked zero for your participation grade in group activities if instructor is not properly informed , not be given special post lab presentation for invalid reasons -- please present a valid excuse slip signed by the college secretary for reconsiderations of your missed class activities (group activities, examinations). Lab report are due two week s after performing the schedule laboratory experiment. Report still be accepted 1 day after the schedule deadline for 3/4 credit. No credit will be given after this time. Deadlines set by the class and the teacher should be honored.
