Weekday — IAD1-B

Every week asks the same four things of you: read the slides for that week’s domains, run every lab in them, finish the IP Learn simulations, and submit the Exam Edge assignment. Slides are on the domain pages in this portal. Labs launch from their own page into the IP Lab Portal. Simulations and Exam Edge are graded in MyIP Portal — not here.
