INTRODUCTORY PHYSICS I LAB
                                                           

- WELCOME! -

This is the web-page for Physics 101, Introductory Physics I Lab (section 4, fall 2018). Materials on this webpage are meant to supplement information given to you in class itself. I'm not a big fan of OAKS, therefore any on-line supplementary material for the course you need can be found here. To the left, you'll find important links/syllabi/etc.

If you'd like to find out more about me or the research we do in my lab, check out my main webpage.

- About This Course -

This course is the lab accompanyment to Introductory Physics I. In addition to helping you master the course content for PHYS 101, we hope that this course will help develop your skills in writing in a scientific context.

Like all classes, what you ultimately will get out of taking this class is directly related to how much effort you put into the course.
  1. Attend lab every week and be an active participant in your group.
  2. Read/study the lab ahead of time.
  3. Refresh yourself on the material associated with the previous week's lab before coming to class, in order to do well on the weekly lab quiz.
  4. Keep a well-organized lab notebook. (And write everything you do down!)
  5. Stay on-schedule with your mastery of the material in PHYS 101; if you fall behind in the lecture, chances are much of the lab material will seem mysterious to you.

- IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS!!!! -

The fall 2018 semester starts on a Tuesday, and our lab starts two days later on Thursday. After consultation with the department, we have determined that this section of lab will not meet the first week. Thus, the first meeting for our lab will be Thursday, August 30th. If possible, please pick up your lab manual at SAS-E ink prior to coming to lab on the 30th.
