Reading and Problem Sets – Students should read all sections of the chapters listed
above during the specified time. Quizzes and exams cover reading and lecture
material. Students should attend all lectures and labs and work all assigned
problems to prepare for quizzes and exams. Late problem sets will not be accepted.
Quizzes and Exams – A quiz will be given during the lecture period approximately
every three weeks. One quiz will be dropped. Mid-term exams will be given during
the lab periods in weeks 7 and 13. A comprehensive final exam will be given during
finals week as scheduled by the Registrar's office.

Preliminary lab reports:
One class meeting prior to each and every lab period (typically Monday at 10 AM) students must
submit carbon copies of their lab notebook pages (usually 1 to 3 pages) showing careful preparation
for the next day's work. Upon reviewing these, the instructor may need to administer unannounced
pre-lab quizzes. Pre-lab reports count as part of the score for each procedure and should include a
clear statement of purpose, a brief (bulleted) summary of the procedure, a table listing each measured
quantity and device used, and equations showing how derived quantities will be calculated.
Written lab reports:
For each of the experiments listed below by a letter, students must prepare either a report sheet‡ or a
detailed written report including the following sections: introduction (with theory), experimental,
results, discussion, error analysis, and references. Each written full report must have at least one
literature citation besides those listed on the handout (these handouts are not acceptable as literature
citations). Each set of reports is due at 12 noon on Tuesday of the week indicated below. A grading
penalty of 5 % per calendar day (excluding recess) will be applied to late reports, and reports cannot
be accepted more than 21 calendar days late. Students must submit original reports, including
individual work on all figures and tables except those generated directly by scientific instruments;
collaborative reports will be marked down or rejected.

Lab projects:
Each lab team of two or three students chooses a project from a list (see separate handout) to work on
during weeks 10, 12, and 14. Each project can be done by only one team. Choices must be made by
Tuesday of week 8, and each team must schedule two separate half-hour meetings with the instructor
before the end of week 9 to develop a detailed plan for their project. Project lab grades are based on
preparation as demonstrated in weekly pre-lab reports, creativity, problem solving, ability to
measure and estimate uncertainties, and quality of results relative to comparable publications.
Oral lab reports:
Each team will give an oral presentation (10 to 12 minutes per student) on their lab project. Grades
for the presentations will be based on quality of the presentations and on audience participation; the
total will be equivalent to one written report. The final exam will also contain questions based on the
oral presentations.

Academic dishonesty:
The University expects its students to conduct themselves in a dignified and honorable manner as
mature members of the academic community and assumes that individually and collectively they
will discourage acts of academic dishonesty. The University also expects cooperation among
administrators, faculty, staff, and students in preventing acts of academic dishonesty, in detecting
such acts, reporting them, and identifying those who commit them, and in providing appropriate
punishment for offenders. The University Code of Academic Student Conduct is found in Appendix
C of the Student Handbook.
Special accommodations:
Students requiring particular accommodations because of physical and/or learning disabilities
should contact their Dean’s office prior to or during the first week of classes.
Specific Policies:
Cell phone use is never allowed during class times. Computers may be used for note-taking or data
collection, but they may not be used during quizzes or exams.
