Purpose
This article provides information about Flex Lab courses and explains how students can schedule and manage their lab times through Canvas.
Process
Flex Lab is a model of laboratory instruction utilized currently in Biology 1 (BIOL 111L), A&P (BIOL 227L and 228L), and Introduction to Microbiology (MMBS 111L). This format allows students to find lab times that accommodate their individual schedules on a week-to-week basis while completing the same lab activities in all sections.
• Students will register for a single section of lab (BIOL 111L, BIOL 227L, BIOL 228L, or MMBS 111L) when registering for their lecture section.
• Once they are registered in the course, students will have the ability to schedule the entire semester at once or they will have the ability to schedule their labs on a week-to-week basis. Timeslots will include day, evening, and Saturday times. Students will be able to reschedule their time if a conflict arises.
Scheduling will be available in the Canvas course sites for each Flex Lab by the Friday preceding the start of the term. Please refer to your class in Canvas for additional details and instructions for scheduling your lab time.
