               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:
