d- Students are responsible for leaving the devices on their tables or any entrusted equipment outside their tables in the same condition as they found them when leaving the lab. Except for wear and tear due to regular use, students are liable for any damage caused to the equipment.
e- If necessary, the Lab Instructor may lend certain devices or experiment setup components to students in exchange for their ID.

A student who does not submit the post-lab report will be considered absent from the experiment and will not receive participation points.
e- Lab presentations and Lab Books are important when performing experiments, yet they are not mandatory to bring to the lab. However the students are responsible from all of their content in Applied Exams and in Lab Exam.
