Please see the course description for an explanation of how this course works. It may seem complicated at first, but all the pieces do work together to enhance understanding. Also, please consult the schedule to help you keep track of what is due when. Please take a moment to review the welcome package which should give you a good overview of what to expect to learn in this course.

The goal of this lab course is to emulate the experience of working in an experimental research lab. Students will learn to use sophisticated equipment and learn how to correctly write a lab report.

Some of the experiments are so new that papers have actually been published by students in the course. Students interested in experimental physics research should strongly consider taking this course as a way to prepare for future research experiences or simply to see what may interest them.
