Attendance will only be given to students who attempt 2 of 6 of the tutorial questions before they attend the tutorial. Students with tutorial attendance less than 65% may not be allowed to sit for the final examination. Each student must have a bound notebook to be used as a laboratory/tutorial log (A4 size preferred, graph pages are not required). This logbook should also be used for any preliminary work. It should contain all results recorded during these sessions and student’s comments in time order. On the completion of each session, log book entries must be signed and dated by a tutor. At the end of the semester the logbooks will be collected and marked to note the degree of importance of the recording of pertinent information.
Food and drink are not permitted in the laboratory. Students will not be permitted to enter the laboratory without appropriate footwear. Thongs and sandals are not acceptable.
