Due Dates: The labs are due 1 week from the last lab period SCHEDULED for that project. The labs are always to be turned in at the beginning of the lab period. Labs turned in after the start of the lab period are considered late.

Labs marked SPL are part of the Self-Paced Lab part of the course. The SPL labs can be turned in at any time during the self-paced part of the course. The last day to turn in the SPL labs is your last scheduled lab period which is your last lab period the week before the lab practicals begin.
