There are two lab sessions. If these do not align with your research interests or schedule, you must provide a specific, methods-related makeup plan.

You are required to attend two sessions. Please select two instruments you would like to learn:
- ICP-MS
- TOC / Nutrient Analyzer
- HPLC
- GC/MS

What You Need to Do
Before lab week, respond to this discussion post with your plan:
- If attending both sessions:
- List two instruments you want to learn
- First come first served
- Full credit upon attendance, no summary required and just provide a regular exit ticket
- If you want to learn more instruments, the instusctor will be happy to provide more sessions.
- If attending one or both sessions are missed:
- Provide a makeup plan (e.g., tutorials, methods papers, or targeted readings) to cover the missed work
- Be specific and include links to the materials when possible
- By the end of lab week, post a short summary (5 - 10 sentences) of what you learned from your independent study
Deadlines
- Pre-lab response: Submit before the week of the lab sessions
- Makeup summaries (if required): Due by the end of lab week
