- Here is the best piece of advice you will receive on Lab Module 3: design your microscope before you begin constructing it!
- It is strongly recommended that you:
- prepare a decent sketch of your design; and
- run it by Heejin or Jae Won before you begin construction.
- Heejin and/or Jae Won will be in the lab Tuesday from 3:30-5:30, Wednesday from 3:00-6:00, Thursday from 1:00-6:00, and Friday 1:00-5:00
- Access the course locker from Athena terminals by typing:
