This is how a typical lab will go:

The assignment will be posted as much as a week before the day of the lab. Read the assignment before lab if you can. You are allowed to ask questions about it even before the lab day!

Attend the lab and be on time! If someone is persistently late, they are not helping their team do the work. If this lateness is not excused and documented, that person can end up without the team points and eventually without a team!

Your team can select someone to be 'typist' for the day. That person is in charge of entering the code for the team problem, and making sure the work is submitted at the end!

The grade for the lab work is the same for every team member WHO IS PRESENT. If you miss a lab, you need to contact Dr. Keen if you have a documented excuse for it. In that case, upon receipt of a paper copy of the documentation, you get the same score as the rest of the team.
