GOALS:
Physics 7LC is not a traditional lab course, but rather a
tutorial designed to help you improve your understanding of the concepts in
Physics 7C and develop your problem solving skills. This course also aims to
promote interactive learning in a cooperative setting. Talking about physics
with your group partners should help you to clarify your ideas as well as to
provide a check on possible misconceptions.
Attendance:
In order to receive credit for attending a lab section,
you must attend the lab section in which you are enrolled, sign in at the
beginning of class and sign out at the end of class. If you attend a section
in which you are not enrolled, your attendance will be treated as an absence
and you will receive a zero for that week. There are no make-ups. The lab
sections will meet each week during the quarter, for a total of 10 weeks.
Enrollment:
As specified in the Schedule of Classes, you must
finalize your enrollment via WebReg by Friday of the end of Week 2 (Week 2 is
the second full week of classes). Your TA has no authority to enroll you.
Grading :

Lab:
Each week you will work with other students on problems that
your TA will give you. Typically there will be 3 students in a group. The TA
will give you 2 problems on a piece of paper. Do not write on the paper. Write
the solution on your own paper. Then show the TA when you are done. The TA
will then give you another set of 2 problems. There will typically be 6
problems per week.
