    Reports over one week late but less than two weeks late, are marked out of 40%.

    Reports over four weeks late are marked out of 5%

Prelab check must be done on your lab day.
     The prelab should be ready at 8:30.  If it is not ready when the TA comes to check, the prelab marks are forfeited.
     However it must be completed before you can continue the lab.
