Purpose of labs

The labs are an opportunity for you to practice using visualization tools and put into practice the concepts you'll learn in lectures and through reading.

How & when to submit lab work

You will "submit" your lab reports by posting them on your class web site. The URL for that site should be:
    http://students.washington.edu/your UW NetID/INFO424 (replace "your UW NetID" with your UW NetID)
Make a link to each report from your main page (ask a friend or the TA if you have questions about how to do this)

Lab reports are due at 8:00 on the day of the following lab

Each report will include the following information:
  1. A brief summary in your own words describing what was the lab about
  2. The results - this may be images, text or both depending upon the activity for the week. The instructions for each lab will clarify what this should look like.
  3. A paragraph describing what you learned (this doesn't need to be earth-shattering, but put some thought into it and think in terms of how this will be helpful for you in your current our future work as an informatician.
