Your grade will be determined from a notebook grade (33%) and and a write-up grade( 67%) for each experiment. Four week projects will carry double the grade weighting of two week projects. For each experiment the notebook and write-up grade will be scored out of 10 and 20 points, respectively,
Students must submit their lab notebooks for grading immediately after the final laboratory session of the corresponding experimental project. Notebooks will be returned to the student with 24-hours. Students must submit their laboratory write-ups for grading within one week of the final laboratory session of the corresponding experimental project. The write-ups should be submitted in .pdf format to gorringe@pa.uky.edu. Late submission of notebooks or write-ups will not be accepted and will be recorded as zero points.
Students are required to attend all Tuesday and Thursday lab session unless the instructor has verified all measurements are completed by the early grading of the student's notebook. If you either get sick or get `stuck' while conduction an experiment its important to alert the instructor quickly to avoid falling-behind.
The falsifying of data or ``borrowing'' of data is cheating. You must collect your own data, perform your own analysis, and write your own report.
