WHEN:   THIS LAB (1) IS DUE AT THE START OF YOUR NEXT LAB (2).

WHO: For Labs 1-8, please come to the lab time you are signed up for.  The TAs are there to help you, and keeping the number of students reasonable is an important way to make sure they will have enough time to help you.  For Matlab lab weeks, you are welcome to attend any lab, or as many labs as you wish.  The TAs will be available to help answer your questions during these lab times.  To find the contact information for your TA see: Labs: Ta's And Overview

Labs are done and turned in individually.  You are welcome and encouraged to help each other, but you must build and test your own circuit and turn in your own results.
