** These labs, obviously, require clear skies. Since Gainesville's weather is unpredictable, you should reserve all the Wednesdays in the semester for possible labs.
Please, arrive on time.
You must also read the lab manual's introduction and laboratory procedure as you do with Day Labs. We will have Oral Quizzes at the beginning of the labs. They are not graded, but will let me know if you have read the manual in advance.
