Lab Write-ups and Grading

You lab write-ups should include enough text and images (e.g., screen captures, jpgs or PDFs exported from ArcMAP) to show that you worked through all sections of the lab and responded to any questions or specific instructions. If you experienced difficulties, you should note specifics. If you use any outside sources in your write-up, please cite your sources. 

Labs are graded on a 1 - 10 rating system where:  1-5 = failure 6 = poor, 7 = statisfactory; 8 = good; 9 = excellent, 10 beyond expectations. The labs contribute 20%, or 20 points, to your overall grade.  If you receive a 1-5  you are expected to update your lab and make it satisfactory. 

You are expected to do each lab, unless it is designated optional in the above table. Late labs are not acceptable without prior arrangements.
