The lab reports must be submitted within one week of the last exercise, with any necessary corrections.The course has an ongoing assessment. All parts must be passed to achieve an overall grade in the course. No re-sit opportunities are offered on the laboratory reports. If a student wishes to redo the lab, this can be done the next time the course is taught.
