Physics 102 Conceptual Physics Lab Fall 2000

Each lab will be worth 10 pts. One missed lab can be made up at the Exploratorium which must be arranged with me first. ALL WORK MUST BE COMPLETED AND TURNED IN DURING THE LAB TIME. Since labs refer to each other and there is a final exam at the end of the term, it would be wise to have a binder to keep all your lab write ups in and bring it to each class. Final grades are based on the following which are subject to change:

A: 90% and above; B: 80-90%; C: 70-80%; D: no D’s allowed!!!!

10 percent of the final grade will be based on punctuality and participation. That is the difference between a letter grade! Schedule subject to change. (Subject subject to change! ;-)
