You must attend the lab every week.
You should complete at home any part of the lab you did not finish during the lab time. At times,
we expect that the lab has to be finished at home: The goal is to give you a guidance in how to apply
the concepts we have learned in a concrete situation, and the lab materials act as a tutorial.
