  4. Course Structure • 2 hours of lecture • Followed by 2 hours of labs • The purpose of the labs is to enhance the text book and provide you with actual practical problems as they occur in the industry. • It is the hands-on, practical side of the course. Attendance and completion of the labs will be a key factor in completing the course successfully. • Remember PRACTISE makes PERFECT

  5. Lecture and Lab Notes • Lecture notes will be available afterwards from my web page • No Labs will be available from the Web pages. You will be given or told where to retrieve them from at the beginning of the lab. All will have to be completed during the Lab. • !! Each lab will have a “deliverable” associated with it, some of these will be evaluated for marks to be counted towards your final grade!!

  6. Do you want to do well? • Show up for Lectures • Complete the Labs, MARKS! • Do the assignments, a MUST! • Do the required reading • Do the Review questions and labs from your text book, they serve both to re-enforce and for practice • Ask Lots of Questions both during lecture and labs
