Office hours: Thr 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM (It will be grateful if you can make an appointment at first.)

Notice:

  1. No make-up week. If you missed any lab, with my permission, you could go to other section but must make up within the week you missed. Or you receive a ZERO.
  2. Please read first two pages of the manual carefully. I will grade your notebook based on them mainly.
  3. Staring from Lab 2, you will receive zero points if you cannot turn in your lab notebook when time is up. It means you have to study your lab manual very hard every week.
  4. You may check http://www.geocities.com/chcyang for my personal supplemental notes prior to every coming experiment. Due to the difficulty of some experiments, I may skip some complicated procedures if possible.
  5. You don't have to make a conclusion because all questions you answered will cover it. Also, I will add some similar questions to see how you apply all skills and theories you have learned in class. Therefore, answering all assigned or additional questions will play an important role of your grade.

Grading Policy:

  1. Each lab is normally graded out of a total of 10 points and no more than 10.
  2. Be careful about "Units" and "Significant Figures". This kind of mistake is 0.5 points, every time, consecutively! A grading reference copied from TA notes will be given here.
  3. 2-4 points will come from answering the questions quantitatively and in percentage.
  4. And 1 other point will come from your physical performance in the Lab. Therefore, I may ask some simple questions at random or observe your attitude quietly. Basically, I appreciate people's initiative to reach "above-perfection" in the limited time window.
  5. A 2-point quiz may be given right at the first 10 minutes of each lab.
