PHYS 122 - Introductory Physics II Labs

Lab Info & Policies

All lab manuals are available in hardcopy from the Physics Dept.. The lab manual NO LONGER available online.

The departmental policy is a student must pass the lab to pass the course. A passing lab average is 59%

The labs are self-contained. Students must come prepared for each lab. Some labs may not be 'in sequence' with the lecture.

Every student must attend the correct section (day, time and room number)

Each student should bring a scientific calculator, ruler with centimeter scale, protractor, textbook and a floppy disk.

Each student is required to write a short (150-200 word) pre-lab before coming to class as an introduction to their lab report. There will also be a short quiz before each lab to insure the student is properly prepared for the lab. There will be a quiz and a pre-lab is required at the first lab. See Quiz and Pre-labs . (101 labs do not require a prelab or quiz for the first lab.) More detail is given in the lab manual about lab grading.

Make up labs are only given for officially excused absences . An official excuse is defined as: (a) illness with a doctor's note or a dated medical excuses policy form from the student health center, (b) a family emergency such as a serious illness or death in the immediate family or (c) official Tulane business. Make up labs will be done during the week indicated on the lab schedule. Documentation will be required to do a make-up lab.
