Laboratory meets the first week of the class. One lab report and one lab quiz will be dropped when determining the course grade. Quizzes are given at the beginning of the lab period. The quizzes cover material form the previous class experiment as well as the experiment you will be conducting that day. Therefore it is required that you read the theory behind the experiment, the experimental procedure and complete pre-lab assignments before coming to class.
Lab reports are due a week after a certain experiment is completed.
Cheating on any quizzes, tests and exams will automatically receive zero points and may result in possible expulsion from the class. All efforts will be made to accommodate students with disabilities. A tentative list of chapters and topics to be covered is included. It will be helpful if you keep up with the reading. As a general rule, you should spend at least 3 hours studying for each hour of lecture.
