The full lab materials package won't be generally available until sometime during the second week of classes, and won't be needed until sometime during the third week. However if you're planning to work ahead, then once you've completed the Initial Activities I can arrange to have a package available for you. The initial package is needed around the second week of the term. I began packing those packages today, and will begin sending them out early next week. Yours will be among the first batch mailed.
