Lab checklist

Your responsibilities each week:

Arrive at your session's start time and stay until the final "checkoff" for the lab (or "checkout checkoff") -- message the Prof, Head TA, and your section's TAs in advance if you will arive late or be absent
Bring a laptop with at least 5GB free on your hard drive so you can install necessary software and store required files.
Watch lecture video and complete "before class" tasks -- ideally before your lab section starts
Complete "during class" tasks in your scheduled lab section
Request a TA "checkoff" on your final product (or a "checkout checkoff" with a plan to finish)
