There will be classroom discussion of physical phenomena, problem solving methods and laboratory experiments. Tutoring is available at the Learning Assistance Center in L114. Attendance of all lectures and laboratory sessions is expected. It is very important to follow the lectures and ask questions when something is not completely clear. The required readings will include the textbook and the laboratory write-ups.
Homework assignments are critical for the course.
Laboratory Practices include setting up the equipment, performing the experiment, and collecting and analyzing the data. Students will be expected to perform ALL experiments and submit ALL written laboratory reports. Please note that students are expected to perform all regularly scheduled laboratory experiments. Draw a sketch of the physical situation. Label all known and unknown quantities on the diagram relevant to the problem.
