In the Fall of 2001 there are 10 sections of 121 labs and 18 sections of 131 labs. In addition there are 4 sections of Physics 101 labs. Labs are not always to most enjoyable part of a science course. However, they are a very important part of understanding the material. In addition, laboratory work is something you will repeatedly encounter in your professional life as a scientist or engineer after you graduate.
All science is based on experiments.
Without a good understanding of how experiments work, you can not be a good scientist or engineer. Again, Welcome to the introductory physics labs at Tulane University. We hope your time spent with us will be as enjoyable as possible and a valuable learning experience. The departmental policy is a student must pass the lab to pass the course. The labs are self-contained.
