Note I:      An early warning for those that do not read this schedule until the night before lab!  The pre-labs for the two experiments that are scheduled next should be started a few days early, since they involve use of computers and software.

Note II:     On Thursday, Aug. 9, besides monitoring the make-up labs, a lab instructor will be available during both lab sections 1 and 2 to provide additional help in preparing for the final exam (if you have no make-up lab to do!)

Note III:   Note that next week’s lab is not the next one in the manual! Be sure you prepare for the correct lab each week!

Note IV:   The pre-lab for this experiment is in your manual. The write-up for the experiment itself is being revised to reflect new equipment. Copies of the revised pages that you will need in addition to whatever is in the manual will be available when you come to lab.
