Please assume that we will be in lab during the entire 3-hour period. We will conduct experiments and systematic observations in lab to demonstrate concepts presented during lectures. We will quantitatively describe and analyze data, covering several statistical tests that are of use to natural scientists. You will demonstrate comprehension of laboratory material by completing handouts and by writing three reports. I will accept any assignment early.
Attendance is required in both lecture and lab.
Oral presentations will be given during your laboratory period in the last week of class. On Monday, December 4, you will hand in to me the list of sources you used to prepare your presentation. Thus, there will be a total of 550 points available in the course. Please review the Academic Honor Code booklet that you recently were given. You can demonstrate honesty in fairly obvious ways, such as only taking credit for your own work.
