Laboratory Rules:
1. Follow the format for laboratory outputs

Font Size: 11
Font Color (for answers): Blue, Accent 1, Darker 25%
Spacing: Single Space
Paragraph Alignment: Justified
Margin: ½ inch red margin
Paper size: Long (8” x 13”)
2. Please avoid typing the answers in all caps. Typing in all caps is similar to shouting

3. Submit the group output on time. Corresponding deductions will be given for late
submission. The students will be given 1 week to complete the laboratory activity.
4. The leader should be responsible for sending the output on time. Each group
member should take turns in becoming the leader.
5. Contributions of each member should be placed on the front page of each
laboratory activity. The group members have the right to leave it blank if one
member did not help in completing the output. The members must make sure,
however, that they have tried contacting or asking the specific member for help
before leaving it blank. The instructor will confirm this with the group leader before
giving a zero score.
6. Have the initiative to help. Remember this is a group output not an individual
output.
7. Neatness for each output is also taken into consideration.
8. If the student does not understand the laboratory activity, please do not hesitate
to contact the instructor.
