Course Prelabs:

The following prelab exercises must be completed, brought to class and turned in at the start of the indicated laboratory session. Faiure to turn in the prelab will result in an automatic letter grade reduction in that week's lab report.

Please consult the notes associated with the prelabs for tips and things to consider when preparing for the week's work.
