 == Textbook Labs ==
 Every chapter in the textbook contains a "lab". Students are encouraged to follow the steps in these labs, as they are very helpful for understanding the course material. It is especially important to do so in the first weeks of the course. However, the textbook labs are optional and are not marked.
