Getting Started

This website is the "lab manual" In which you can access it at any time and work your way through the material. It is important to note that you will need to submit assignments to your individual Canvas courses. Your course instructors will set the point values to these assignments. To be successful in your lab class you will need to read and review all components of the lab manual. 

Failure to not read the manual and its components, may result in missed information or assignments. By reviewing each stage of the process, you will have a broad understanding. Then, as you move through the process, go back, and review the steps before proceeding. You will need to successfully complete step one which is the Lab Orientation Quiz with a score of 80% before moving on to step two. Once you have received a score of 80% you may move to the next step. Explore the lab manual in its entirety, feel free to revisit the Lab Manual for a deeper understanding. Everyone needs a refresher (usually) before beginning the next step.
