Lab Grading Sysem

There are 6 or 7 lab experiments (depending on time). For every experiment, there is an individual lab report (written by one person). The lab is worth 25-27 % of the total grade, around 10% for the reports and 15% for thr projects. There are separate grades for the attendance and for the report. The report is due 1 week after performing the experiment. Plenty of time is given to avoid late submission.
