| − | <p> For your first lab report, I am offering a Lab Report Review, where you can schedule a time to come to my office so I can look at your completed (or nearly completed) lab report and offer some helpful comments before you submit the report to the TA for marking. You can sign-up up a lab review using the online system (see below) scheduled on or before January 22, 2014. </p>

| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>Students must complete 4 experiments with reports, an oral exam, and a presentation on a current experimental physics topic. </p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>Each lab report will be graded out of 20. The marks for each lab report will be assigned as follows:</p>
| |
| − | <table width=200>
| |
| − | <tr><td width=150>Abstract</td><td>2</td></tr>
| |
| − | <tr><td>Introduction/Theory</td><td>5</td></tr>

| |
| − | <tr><td>[[Main Page/Phys 4210/4210Reports|Lab Reports]] 75%</td></tr>
| |

| |
| − | <h3>Penalties</h3>
| |
| − | <ul>
| |
| − | <li> For each day late, your lab report will lose 10%. If the report is due Friday, and is handed in on Monday you will loose 20% from the mark for that report.</li>
| |
| − | <li> If you come unprepared for a demonstration by the TA, you will loose 5%. You are expected to have read completely and have a basic idea of the experiment beforehand.</li>
| |
| − | <li> If you do not show up for a scheduled demonstration within 10 minutes of the scheduled time, you will have to schedule a new time for a demonstration, and will suffer a 5% penalty for wasting the TAs time. </li>
