- Be cautious when working with electrical equipment.
- Bringing of radiation source or its byproduct is illegal.
- In-class discussions are strongly encouraged, while copying or cheating is not allowed.
- Copying any worksheet or report with more than 30% similarity will result in zero. Examples are copying from the internet, textbooks, or friends.
- Cheating on any quiz will result in a zero, and 50% deduction of worksheet score.
- The laboratory is purely onsite, with Google Classroom learning management system.
- No makeup or online learning is allowed.
- In case of government lockdown or in-class infections, online learning may be practiced, but the contents will be changed to suit online learning.
- In case of academic, career, or family-related matters, the students must request the instructor (by email above) and CC to both TAs before the lab to have the lab scores. Pairing students must come to do the lab alone.
- In case of emergency, one or two lowest lab scores may be ignored.
- To ensure transparency, all of the scores may be shared among the class.
