To the student...Take advantage of the features of this lab book to help you succeed.  For all the labs read the background, it will help clarify procedures, it will help you focus, and it will help you with calculations and other questions.

Read the procedure ahead of time.  If you have a picture in mind of what you will be doing, it will speed things up and help you avoid pitfalls along the way.

Write notes to yourself; each lab has a “Notes” page for this purpose.

For all labs, the answers to pre-lab and post-lab calculated problems are given; use them as immediate feedback to check your work.  (Hint:  instructors grade the work not the answer.)

The “Calculation Examples” will guide you through the problems presented in the pre-lab, your data calculations, and the post-lab.  Use them!
