Instructions

Each week you will complete a prelab quiz here on Canvas to help prepare for the next week's lab activities.  This helps immensely in terms of our ability to get through the activities smoothly and within the time we have available.  It also prevents us from having to go over lots of background information at the start of our lab meetings, and we can then get on to the more interesting, active parts of the day!
