Welcome to Advanced Physics Lab 2013!
(Under construction.)
Instructors
Professor: Tobias Marriage (marriage@pha.jhu.edu), Office: Bloomberg 215
TAs: Sean Cantrell (seancan@pha.jhu.edu), Ian Anderson (ianderso@pha.jhu.edu)
Lab Guru: Steve Wonnell (wonnell@pha.jhu.edu)
Schedule
Lab times: Mondays 10:00-12:50, 13:30-16:20. You may come at any time to either class period. This is essentially when the professor and TAs will be available. Each lab is associated with either the professor or a TA. Schedule meetings in advance with TAs as they may not be around for the full 6 hours. The professor will be around for both sessions. Each lab takes two weeks and therefore has two associated lab periods.
First Lab Period. Before the first lab period you should write an overview of the experiment and the procedure (essentially a draft of the introduction and the experiment sections of your report). To get credit for the draft, you should submit this before class starts (10am) on Monday. You will discuss the experiment with the professor and/or the TAs. The instructors will give high level comments and a grade on the draft. In the first lab period you also take a first pass at conducting the experiment and data taking. For many labs you will continue taking data throughout the week, and you will save time by having the instructors here to help clarify any issues that arise in the initial data taking.
Second Lab Period. The next week you should have an initial analysis done of your data. You should submit a draft of your report with an initial data analysis section and any preliminary discussion before 10am on this day to receive credit. You should come to the lab in order to discuss your results with the professor and/or TAs.
The semester goes as follows. Unless noted otherwise below, final drafts of lab reports are due at midnight the day before the next lab begins.
