General Information

A lab course for all introductory physics students.
Required as a corequisite for PHYS 1112 or PHYS 1116. If you take either course without taking this one, you will be required to take this as a corequisite for PHYS 2213 or PHYS 2217.

Prerequisites

This class is intended as a corequisite for PHYS 1112 or PHYS 1116, so it effectively has the same prerequisites as either of those classes.

Topics Covered

Workload

10 homework assignments over the course of the semester, each taking approximately 1 and a half hours. 1 lecture and 1 lab section per week. 3 quizzes with the 3rd one more like a final exam. [Fall 2022]

General Advice

This class emphasizes ways of thinking in the lab, so during your lab sections, detail your lab notes with your thought processes and educated experimental decisions. [Fall 2022] Do the most that you can in those 2 hour lab sections. They go by fast so make the most of the time available [Fall 2022]

Testimonials

This class focuses on experimental procedures and, therefore, includes a good amount of statistics. Much of this content is subjective, so make sure to understand the reasoning and thought processes behind everything first. Lecture attendance is taken via PollEV participation. [Fall 2022]
