For each experiment, students must read and understand both the background information and the experimental procedure BEFORE coming to the laboratory. Consult the schedule below for the background readings for each day of lab. To asses students' level of preparation, pre-lab quizzes will be administered online through this course website; STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE PRE-LAB QUIZ BEFORE STARTING THE EXPERIMENT.
