HIGHER & APPLIED AREA MINOR COURSES:
Phys.414 Physics Lab Course 0+4
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
The primary aim of this course is to:
Collect data and revise an experimental procedure iteratively and reflectively,
Evaluate the process and outcomes of an experiment quantitatively and qualitatively,
Extend the scope of an investigation whether or not results come out as expected,
Communicate the process and outcomes of an experiment, and
Conduct an experiment collaboratively and ethically.
The course is designed to perform experiments and simulations to go hand in hand with
the theory courses.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
By the end of the three-course intro lab sequence, students should be able to:
