2013

Welcome to Advanced Physics Lab 2013!

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 to either (or both) class periods. This is essentially when the professor and TAs will be available (note both TAs will not be present at 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). Bring this to the lab to discuss the experiment with the professor and/or the TAs (Also they will "check off" your progress as part of the participation grade). In the first lab period you also take a first pass at experiment and data taking.

Second Lab Period. The next week you should have an initial analysis done of your data. You should bring a draft of your report with an initial data analysis section and any preliminary discussion. 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.
