The Lab Manual is available from the College bookstore. The nine exercises it contains are listed on our syllabus . It would help to read the introduction and be familiar with each exercise before coming to class. You are expected to do your share of the work. So if you're sick, please call so arrangements can be made.
Lab reports are quite informal.
Just do the analysis and answer the questions at the end of each exercise. You may confer with your lab partner, but please think independently. Everyone should submit his own report with his own data analysis. Reports are due one week after the completion of the exercise, unless noted under course grading . Practical exams do not consume the entire class period and are not comprehensive.
