Senior Physics Lab, Workman, NMIMTSenior lab is an upper level physics laboratory course intended to providestudents with experience in taking and analyzing experimental measurements.Course work emphasizes problem solving in the lab, and error assesmentof measurements.Lectures are held twice weekly, during which background theory, operationprocedures, and error analysis is discussed. Lab work is to be completedoutside of class. Students are required to complete four experiments and write a publicationquality abstract for each. In addition, a complete report must accompanyone of the abstracts. Grading is based on experiment abstracts and reports,as well as occassional homework problems and a final exam. |
