Layout of the class
You will perform three series of experiments (called “modules”) over the course of the semester. The modules differ in length and in the ways you will be assessed. For each module, you also have the opportunity to choose a concentration area for your assessments, namely
- an oral communication concentration (shown in red)
- a written communication concentration (shown in blue)
You will be working as pairs throughout the semester, but you will submit several of your assignments and presentations as individuals. Relevant guidelines on academic integrity from MIT policies and procedures are here and here. Please ask one of the teaching faculty if any question arises about what constitutes collaboration, plagiarism, etc.

Some important notes
- You and your lab partner must choose the same concentration area for each module.
- We encourage but do not require that you try a different concentration for one module.
- You are locked into your decisions for the term by the end M1D3.
- Late work is penalized 1/3 of a letter grade each day late.
- Only work turned in on time is guaranteed timely or extensive feedback.

Additional Assessments
Independent of your concentration, determines 20% of your final grade
5% Pre-lab Questions
You will be assigned a day to write three questions in advance of lab, submit these to the TA 24 hours in advance
10% Lab Notebooks
These will be reviewed by the TA once each module. You will be graded on a check minus (=75%), check (=85%), check plus (=95%) scale. The requirements for your notebooks are described here. Your lab notebooks must be turned in to the TA by noon on 9.21.12 (module 1), 10.19.12 (module 2), 11.30.12 (module 3). They will be returned at the start of your next lab period.
