Course Format
The course consists of one 50 minute lecture per week (Monday 1 pm to 1:50 pm) and one 3 hour lab period per week (either Monday or Wednesday, 2 pm to 4:50 pm).
Week 1, August 20 & 22
- Lecture, 1 pm Monday August 20th: Everyone meets in P&A Room 184. We will introduce ourselves, and go over administrative details. Assignments will be given to prepare everyone for the beginning of lab work in the second week.
- There will be no lab sessions during the first week of classes So, it's crucial to attend Monday at 1 pm.
Week 1 agenda
Week 2, August 27 & 29
- Lecture, 1 pm Monday August 27th: TBD. Probably 1/2 of lecture will deal with administrative stuff and re-introductions, and the rest will be the beginning of technical stuff related to the labs.
- Monday lab session 2:00-4:50 pm: Oscilloscope lab for everyone.
- Wednesday lab session 2:00-4:50 pm: Oscilloscope lab for everyone.
Week 2 agenda
Week 3 September 3 and 5, Classes canceled for Labor Day
- Since Monday Lecture and Lab are canceled for Labor Day, the Wednesday lab will also be canceled.
Week 4 September 10 and 12
- Beginning this week, students will be working on different labs from each other (because usually only one setup is available). There will be a sign up process on the wiki.
