Description
This laboratory-course focuses on the advanced techniques and experiments drawn from the full range of physics classes. The student will understand the role of experimental design, advanced data analysis and reduction, error analysis, and the use of computers while investigating physical phenomena. In some experiments students apply what was learned in previous lectures and courses, but in some other experiments it is expected that student independently searches for theoretical information related to the experiment. You will often be expected to figure things out on your own in consultation with your lab partner and will be graded on the quality of those decisions.
