NOTE: Anyone caught stealing or using another's wafer, lab notebook, or computer files will receive an 'E' in the course. Similar treatment will be given to students caught using a lab notebook or files from a previous semester.
A significant percentage (25%) of your lab grade is based on in-lab technique. Good in-lab technique includes proper use of equipment, safety awareness, cleaning up after oneself, and in-lab performance which demonstrates a basic understanding of the procedures being followed. It is expected that the student will become thoroughly familiar with the procedures for each lab period in which he/she subsequently will be involved, even if it may require study in advance of covering a given topic in class. The theory and rationale of the steps are not difficult to understand, and are in fact, quite logical. If, however, questions pertaining to the process persist, DO NOT STUMBLE ON BLINDLY - ASK THE LAB INSTRUCTOR. A thorough explanation will usually result.
After meeting 7 and until testing is completed, updated "logsheet" files should be submitted within 24 hours of acquiring the data (See http://fabweb.ece.uiuc.edu:1999/Software/UNIX). The lab depends on quick process feedback so we have made this simple task worth 4 points toward the overall grade.
