A daily laboratory experience is part of the course. Like in a game, to fully understand physics, 
you need to know how to keep score. This involves observing, measuring, and expressing your findings in 
numbers. That's what the lab manual is for, to help you do physics and understand what you are doing! 
The experiments are detailed investigations about some specific phenomena. They require acquiring, 
recording, and analyzing data. Often times they involve using special equipment or apparatus. 

 You must purchase a lab manual from UM Printing & Creative Services in Sam-Gerard Hall.
 Attendance in lab is mandatory for both you and your lab manual. You will not be allowed in the door 
       without your lab manual. 
 You must read the assigned lab experiment in the lab manual before coming to lab.
 At the beginning of the lab period a quiz will be given covering details in the lab experiment as noted in 
       the lab manual.
 You will receive a zero grade for any unexcused missed lab.  If a lab is missed for a valid, officially 
       documented reason (namely, a medical emergency or university required event), then the zero grade
       for that lab may be dropped.  Note that a maximum of one lab grade may be dropped, and it must be 
       approved by Dr. Quinn before the lab is missed except in the case of a medical emergency, in which 
       case the medical excuse must be presented to Dr. Quinn as soon as the student is able to return to class.
 Three missed labs will result in an automatic F for the course.

Further details can be found in the Laboratory Syllabus.
