[nabs-l] microscope lab!

[Dennis Clark]

Hello Nicole and others,
Like Nicole, when I was at Stanford and took several classes in the machine 
shop, Stanford hired an assistant for me.  I think this is the appropriate 
solution.  I would be totally opposed to you being required to rely on a lab 
partner.  This is not fair to the lab partner, and necessarily puts you on 
an unequal footing with the lab partner.  Also, your assistant should not be 
your lab partner if others in the class have partners.  You should be 
provided with an assistant to help you function independently, and you 
should then be partnered with a lab partner like all the other students in 
the class.
Best,
Dennis
