The assignments are due at the beginning of lecture the day before the assigned lab period. 

5 of 35 points for that experiment are devoted to these prelab assignments. 

 

Prelabs can be submitted

1) in person at the beginning of lecture, or

2) via the following web link.

 

These are to encourage your preparation for lab well in advance of the lab experiment period.  All can be

completed with careful reading of the assigned experiment and assigned reading.  See me early with

questions about these assignments.  Points will be deducted for late work.

 

If you do not have a printer to print these, just clearly write your answers on notebook paper,
