PHYSICS 170
Fall 2016
|
Physics 170 is a special course in EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS for first-year students. The main aim of the course is to have you learn something about REAL physics as done in a research laboratory. There will be no formal lectures (or exams) so that all of your learning will be done by: (1) reading (in & out of class), (2) having discussions with your lab partner and the instructors, and (3) performing "hands-on" experiments. Notice the emphasis on “your learning” in the previous sentence - after all, learning on one’s own is an important aspect of doing physics research. |

Spartan Code of Honor and Academic Pledge
As a Spartan, I will strive to uphold values of the highest ethical standard. I will practice honesty in my work, foster honesty in my peers, and take pride in knowing that honor is worth more than grades. I will carry these values beyond my time as a student at Michigan State University, continuing the endeavor to build personal integrity in all that I do.
