What to Do The First Week


Browse the Site

Take a look around. Get a feel for the Patterns site.

Look at the Syllabus and other Course Info

In the Course Information section, you'll be able to access the Syllabus, Schedule and a whole slew of other useful pages. Check out these pages that will probably answer most of your questions about the course.

All labs are in GWC 487.

Make-Up Labs (by permission only):

Pick up an Optics Kit

This is important. Most of the activities use objects from this kit. This can be bought at the ASU Bookstore.

View the Announcements Page

We can't emphasize this enough. Check there often. Any last-minute changes and news will be posted there.

Go to the Assignment Page
