Your overall grade for the course is based on two components:<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000\">Lab Exercises:<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Lab exercises are posted on Canvas, along with supplemental materials.\u00a0 Lab Exercises are due on Sundays or Mondays (unless otherwise noted, see course calendar).\u00a0 All labs are submitted via Canvas. There are approximately 15 labs, your lowest lab exercise grade will be dropped.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000\">Lab Quizzes:<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>There are several lab quizzes that cover material from lab exercises.\u00a0 All lab quizzes will be completed via Canvas.
