PHY251 Summer I 2008
Undergraduate Physics Laboratory I
Lab Resources
The lab write ups for the course are in pdf format. You should print out and review the write up(s) required for each experiment prior to class. A brief quiz will be given at the start of every class covering the material from the week's lab write up(s). Coming to class without studying the write-ups will likely result in a low grade on the quiz and a difficult time finishing the experiment.
