Laboratory
Starting this semetser (spring 2018) the lab component of this class is being emphasized more than in past semesters and will count for 25% of your grade, up from 15%. This means that exams determine less of your grade than in the past, which will benefit most students. You will do a hands-on Pre-Lab activity using your IOLab device before every lab, guided by theFlipItPhysics Lab course you signed up for above. In your weekly lab section you will work in groups to design and understand experiments and experimental data, also using your IOLab device.
We will tell you more information about the Lab when we see you in Lecture 1 on Jan/17. The first pre-lab is due on Tuesday Jan 23, and the first lab sections run Wednesday morning Jan 24 through Friday evening Jan 26.
