* Indicates a lab reading assignment or essay due that week. Lab Reading Assignments will be posted to your HuskyCT Lab page no later than one week before the due date.

# Are 'special' lectures that take the entire 50 minutes of class to explain. If you miss one of these lectures, you CANNOT come to my office hours and ask me to explain all of the material to you (unless you have a legitimate and documented reason for your absence). However, if you do attend these lectures and have questions about the material, you CAN, and are encouraged to, come to my office and ask questions.
