During the Lab hours, students will develop two written papers under the guidance of the Instructor. The first written paper will be produced during the first lab class, while the second paper will be prepared over the second and third classes. For this reason, the presence at the first class is mandatory. These two papers will be evaluated by the instructor who will determine if they are sufficient for passing the class. teacher profile teaching materials
