Grading:

Your total lab grade accounts for 20 percent of the total course grade. Each lab is graded out of 100 points and due at the end of the period. This includes answering the pre-lab questions before you come to lab (10 points). The point break down for each week varies, and includes these categories most weeks: Pre-Lab, Data/Graphs, Units/Sig. Figs, Sample Calculations, Analysis Questions, and Clean-up.

Laboratory Guidelines:

First 10-20 minutes: discuss lab, explain apparatus and procedure

Rest of lab: perform lab and write lab report

End of period: turn in lab report

• ID for instruments
• Do not load any software on the PC or change PC settings
• Turn off the apparatuses after use.
• Clean the lab bench before you leave. I will check your lab bench before I give you any credit for clean up.

Tutorial:

The physics tutorial is located in room 54 VAN – the hours it is open are posted on the door or go to http://www.physics.uiowa.edu/ptutorial.html

Complaint procedures:

"Academic Misconduct" and "Student Complaints Concerning Faculty Actions" procedures are available for you review in the Schedule of Courses, pg. 40. The Associate Chair of the Department, Professor Mary Hall Reno, can be contacted through the main office - 203 VAN. As stated in the procedures noted above, complaints or comments regarding TAs should first be directed to the instructor.

Makeup labs:

Students are not allowed to attend sections they are not registered for (makeup labs) except under the following conditions.

1. The student must have permission from the professor, both TAs involved, and, for physics labs, the laboratory coordinator. Permission must be requested at least one week in advance except in the case of an emergency.
2. No student can go into a section that is already full.
3. No more than one "visiting" student in any lab section at a time.

Permission is not automatic and may be denied due to lack of equipment, experiments requiring close TA scrutiny, or other circumstances.

As stated in the University's Course Exam Schedule Conflict Policies: "When there is a conflict between an exam scheduled outside of class time and a regularly scheduled course, the regularly scheduled course will take precedence." It is up to the instructor of an exam scheduled outside regular class hours to arrange a makeup exam for the students who have a schedule conflict.

Students with disabilities:

I need to hear from anyone who has a disability, which may require some modification of seating, testing or other class requirements so that appropriate arrangements may be made. Please see me after class or during my office hours.

Understanding Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment subverts the mission of the University and threatens the well-being of

students, faculty, and staff. Visit www.sexualharassment.uiowa.edu for definitions,

assistance, and the full University policy.

Reacting Safely to Severe Weather

In severe weather, the class members should seek shelter in the innermost part of the

building, if possible at the lowest level, staying clear of windows and free-standing

expanses. The class will continue if possible when the event is over. (Operations Manual

16.14. i.)
