Laboratory Description:

There are 7 experiments to be performed during the semesters. Laboratory rules will be explained in detail by the laboratory assistants.
In principle, groups of two students will perform the experiments. Different experiment set-ups will be present in the laboratory and groups will perform the experiments in rotation each week.
About three course hours are required for each experiment but exact timing depends on the experimental procedure and the ability of the group members :)
Preliminary work is a must and quizzes are occasional ;). Reports are due to the following week.
A laboratory final examination will be given at the end of the semester.
About 20% of course grade is determined by the laboratory work done.
