A report for an assignment is due at the lab time for the next time your section meets. In some cases, you might have a holiday between between when you perform a lab, and when the next lab meets, which would mean that you would have more than one week to do the lab report. The last lab meeting is an in-lab practicum, so there is no lab report for that lab. In the case of a two week lab there is only one lab report required and this will be due at the lab meeting after the 2nd week of the 2-week lab.
Some of the labs require you to demo your finished program to the TA. This can be done during the current lab session or at the beginning of the lab session in which the report is due -- you will need to have your .asm, .lst, and .exe files ready to show the TA when he asks for a demonstration of your work.
You CANNOT use part of the lab time of the current session to complete previous lab work. If you need to demo a program to the TA for the previous lab time, you should be ready to do so at the beginning of the lab period. If the TA asks for a demo for work from the previous lab period, and you are not ready, then you get a zero for that lab work.
You are encouraged to enter the lab at any time that another lab is not in session to complete your work if you did not finish it during the normal lab time. You can also use your home PC for completing your lab work as well.
15 points will subtracted per day that a lab is submitted late. The electronic submission directory has time/date information on each file so we can verify when a lab report was submitted. After 1 week (7 days), a lab grade is automatically assigned a 0.
There can be two problems in submitting lab reports via electronic submission. The first problem is that the lab does not reach the server. After you submit your lab, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to check to see if the report reached the server (there is a link provided for this purpose). If it did not reach the server, then keep submitting until it shows up in the report of submitted labs.
The second problem is that you submit your lab report with the wrong lab number. (Submit lab #2 as Lab #3 or submit Lab #5 as Lab #4 which overwrites a previously submitted lab report). This is a USER ERROR, and we cannot prevent you from doing this. If you discover that you have done this, you must resolve this problem with the TA as SOON AS POSSIBLE. It is not acceptable to wait until the end of the semester and then complain about an incorrectly submitted lab that happened several weeks previously. If you do not resolve this with the TA promptly, expect a 0 grade on that lab.
