PHY132 Physics Practicals - Winter 2011

The overall structure of the Physics Practicals for PHY132 is the same as the Practicals for PHY131. That structure is discussed in the home page for the PHY131 Practicals at http://www.upscale.utoronto.ca/Practicals/2010.Fall/. Here we discuss the details of the PHY132 Practicals.

Submit your paper.
- From your Turnitin homepage select this class.
- Click on the Submit button and select File Upload from the pulldown menu.
- Enter a submission title for your paper, which should include your name. Use the Browse button to select the file that you would like to submit. Click Submit.

You may choose to submit only a hard-copy report of your project, but in this case you must:

Speak with either David Harrison (MP121B, david.harrison AT utoronto.ca) or Brian Wilson (MP 129D, brian.wilson AT utoronto.ca) no later than Tuesday March 8 about your intention to do this.
Include with your report a photocopy of all the relevant notes you took while performing your measurements and doing the calculations. These notes, as with all such complete experimental records, must include dates and times.
Include numbered references in the report linking the text to the original measurement and calculation notes.
Include an annotated bibliography of any references in your report. This is a brief summary of how each reference was used in constructing your report.

Requirements

Here are the components of the Practical mark:

Notebook Mark 0 (0% of course). After the first Practical the lab books will be collected and marked. However, this mark will not count towards your Practical mark. Instead it is intended to make our standards and requirements clear to you.
Measurement Project (6% of course). You will do this assignment individually. It is due to your TAs drop-box on Tuesday, March 15 by 5:00pm, and an identical electronic copy to www.turnitin.com by 11:59pm the same day. The late penalty is 10% per business day of lateness reduction in mark.
Notebook Mark 1 (7% of course). After Practicals Session 5, a selection of the activities from Practical Sessions 2-5 will be chosen to be marked. The decision of which Activities will be marked will be chosen more-or-less randomly after the books have been collected. All Teams will have the same Activities marked.
Notebook Mark 2 (7% of course). At the end of the term a selection of the activities from Practicals Sessions 6-10 will be chosen to be marked. The decision of which Activities will be marked will be chosen more or less randomly after the books have been collected. All Teams will have the same Activities marked.
