Requirements
ATTENDANCE
You will attend six lab sessions
in the Fall term. You are required to attend all lab sessions. If you miss
a lab for any reason, such as illness, you must make up the lab at another
time agreed upon with your demonstrator. You will receive a mark of zero
for each lab that you miss and do not make up.
REQUIREMENTS
You are required to finish 6 "weights"
of experiments in the fall term. The "one weight" experiments are designed
so that their data-taking stage can be completed within one three-hour
period. However, this will be true only if you have spent some time
beforehand in preparation, and fully understand the purpose and method
of approach to the experiment you are about to perform. We also expect
that you may have to do some of the final analysis outside the lab hours.
The "two weight" experiments take twice as long and count as two
"one weight" experiments with the same mark.
In the first four laboratory sessions you will perform four "one weight" experiments in Classical Mechanics. The instruments you will use are connected via an interface to a PC, with which you will record and analyse your data.
For the last two laboratory sessions
you will choose from a list of "free choice" mechanics experiments.
DEADLINES
Note: You are STRONGLY advised to
complete ERRTST appreciably before your deadline in order to avoid
long lineups at computer terminals or last-minute emergencies. No extensions
of time are possible FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER!
30 October (Thursday) | ERRTST must be completed by this date. |
4 December (Thursday | Final date for submission
of the first Formal Report.
*Normally 6 weights of experiments should be completed by this date. |
11 March (Thursday) | Final date for submission of the second Formal Report. |
8 April (Thursday) | All lab work must be completed by this date |
