You are to perform the experiments in teams of two or three. Be prepared for each lab period by reading the expected lab procedure and reviewing the theory behind the experiment. During each lab period the instructor will judge your lab technique and performance. Be sure to specify data and results in a table format. You should write the report with your lab partner since it represents a team effort and the same report grade will be given to each member of your team.
Lab report is due the following week.
No late reports are accepted. Each lab report would be graded out of 20 points. However, when determining your lab portion points, your lowest score on any experiment is dropped, and then an average is taken over the grades you received for the remaining experiments. This introductory section is intended for you, the student, to use as a guide and reference for general physics laboratory. It is important that you read the practices and procedures as outlined in this introduction.
