Course Outline:
Laboratory Schedule


Course Grading:
   Numerical grade on a 4.0 scale based on three components:  Formal Lab Report, Oral Lab Presentation, and Practical
   Lab Exam.  The individual component grades are based on a strait scale. To determine any one of the three grades, divide
   by two (Ex. say you receive a 5 on your lab presentation, your numerical grade would be a 5/2=2.5). To determine your
   final grade, add your three scores and divide by 6 (Ex. you get a 7 on your formal lab report, a 5 on your lab presentation,
   and a 5 on your proctical exam.  Your final course grade is:  (7+5+5)/6=2.83 which rounds up to a 3.0). Maximum grade for any
   one component is an 8.

   Final Exam:  3:00-5:00 on May 3, 2000   (Section 1)
                10:00-12:00 on May 5, 2000 (Section 2)

Laboratory Experiments:

Instructions:  1) All students should check each experiment's listing after 12:00 Noon on the Monday prior to the  experiment.
               2) All students MUST bring a printed copy of each experiment to the appropriate laboratory session.
               3) All lab policies, schedules, and experiments are provided below as downloadable PDF files.
