In accordance with the BMC Honor Code, all
laboratory reports must be written independently. While you are encouraged to ask
for basic guidance from your instructors and peers, group work while writing
the reports or study of "old" lab reports is not acceptable. |

Similar rules as above apply to taking laboratory
exams. Exams must be taken independently, without consulting peers or course
materials. Possession of "old" exams
other than those provided by the instructor is unacceptable. |

Lab will only run until 5:15 pm for
experimental work and 5:30 pm for cleanup. If you need extra time you may
come back on another afternoon. |

Laboratory work is not permitted on the weekends. |
