The laboratory consists of an experimental project supervised by a member of the Physics Department staff or outside equivalent. Students are responsible for choosing their own projects but must realize that interaction with a supervisor is required before making any final decision. All projects must be approved by us as suitable for this course. The work equivalent is two afternoons per week for the year and students are required to work in pairs.
Special permission is necessary for anyone working alone.
Statement of Requirements and Deadlines September 27, 2000. A 1-2 page outline of the project which must be signed by the supervisor. November 27, 2000. An interim report of 8-10 pages giving background information relevant to the project and a more detailed description of proposed or completed experimental work. January 22 and 24, 2001.
