I've received a couple of questions about what exactly do <br>
you need to do before the first lab this week, exp 1. <br>
I've sent out a number of e-mails and there's information <br>
at the Welcome link. Let me try to summarize. <br>
<br>
1) Read the Lab Safety Statement and sign it. (on Carmen)
<br>
<br>
Do this before your first lab period or you'll have to do it<br>
in the first lab period before you start working on the exp and<br>
you might not have time to finish the exp.<br>
<br>
2) Do the Check-in and Safety (Gatekeeper) Quiz. This is <br>
actually at an external link but can be reached from a <br>
link in Carmen as well. This can wait until after the first<br>
week but is due by Sunday, Aug. 26 at 11:59 PM. <br>
<br>
It still is <b><font color="#ff0000">NOT</font></b><b> </b>working
correctly. I will let you know<br>
as soon as it's fixed.<br>
<br>
The above three things can be found on Carmen. <br>
<br>
3) Write out the procedure for exp 1 in your notebook. <br>
<br>
Look at the last couple pages of my syllabus, Appendix A <br>
in the manual, the "Notebook and Report Instructions" <br>
link at the Laboratory Module on Carmen for an idea <br>
of how to do the notebook. Don't worry if it's not <br>
perfect. You aren't graded on it for the first experiment.
<br>
The TA will "grade" it and tell you how to improve it. <br>
<br>
If you don't have the manual click on Exp 1 in the
Laboratory <br>
Module on Carmen and you will see the manual pages for <br>
exp 1. <br>
<br>
4) Finally, come in the proper attire. This is explained in the
syllabus,<br>
the Safety Pages in the manual, the Safety Statement and the<br>
Gatekeeper quiz. Have long pants (jeans are best, NO leggings
or<br>
spandex), shirts with sleeves (no tank tops, crop tops, etc.)
and shoes <br>
which cover the entire foot (no sandals or open toed shoes). <br>
<br>
I hope this helps. <br>
