Labs
You will work together in small groups on the experiments. Please utilize video conferencing software (Purdue's WebEx or Zoom are preferred) to work with your lab groups. You may use Purdue's Office 365 link to install Microsoft Word (https://www.itap.purdue.edu/shopping/software/product/office365.html) and utilize Microsoft OneDrive to collaborate on your documents. Once you have Office 365 installed you can use the Word Online service to collaborate on the document in real time (https://www.office.com/launch/word) making sure to log in with your Purdue ID and password (not BoilerLink protected).
There are five labs, four of them lasting 3 weeks, one lasting 2 weeks. At the end of each experiment you will work in the lab to finish a laboratory report. There will be pre-readings for some experiments, below.
The expectations for a lab report, which form the grading rubric, are here.
