As your instructor, I want you
to get the most out of this lab experience. I will be available
every lab period to do problems from your large lecture section.
This section will be your only opportunity to get help on
solving problems, so plan on staying the whole period. Come
prepared for the experiments and have some questions about
your homework. I am here to help you succeed.

Make-up Policy: If you cannot attend
a lab for any reason, please tell me or email me before the lab begins and I will allow you to attend one
of the other lab sections that week.
Your lowest lab experiment write-up will be dropped.
Quizzes: There will be a midterm
and a final, each are worth 20 points.
The midterm will be given at the beginning of lab number
8 and cover the material of labs 1-7, and the final will be
given at the beginning of the last lab and cover the material
of labs 1-13.
Experiment Write-up Format: Each student will turn
in a separate experiment write-up. Each
write-up is worth 15 points.
Use the following format:
Title and Purpose (1 point), Data
collection tables (2 points), Data analysis (2 points), Answers
to questions (4 points), and a Conclusion (4 points). Experiment
write-ups should be neat and data should have the right amount
of significant figures and units (2 points).
