Laboratory sections meet once a week in room 209 Osmond. Your meeting time is determined by your PHYS 250P section number (check your class schedule or the places link on the class website for the scheduled time for your laboratory section.). You must attend the laboratory section in which you are scheduled — no switching is permitted.
The laboratories are designed to provide you with hands-on experience with the material being investigated in class. Teaching assistants lead the laboratory sessions and act as your guides as you explore the material. Students work collaboratively in three member lab groups to carry out the experiments. Each student is expected to bring a copy of the relevant lab activity with them to class (the schedule of lab activities is available on the class website). Each student is required to be an active participant in their group in order to earn a grade for the laboratory activity.
During the lab session, each group prepares a single write-up, addressing specific points of the experiments. This write-up must be submitted by the group before the end of the laboratory session.
