Lecture-tutorials-homework

The two 110-minute classes each week will be used to: 

   * Present  material
   * Give you practice with the problems - PLEASE BRING YOUR LAPTOPS FOR THIS PART (Hennings 201 has about 50 electrical outlets)
   * It is expected that tutorial work will take longer than the tutorial and will become "homework"
   * You may work with whomever you like in the tutorial but you will hand in individual tutorial/homework for marks
   * Homework from a Tuesday and Thursday lecture will be due on paper at the start of class the following Tuesday.

Laboratory

Due to space and apparatus restrictions, you will work in groups of four.

There is one multi-part experiment. Simulation by SolidWorks.

Each group will hand in a formal report of the lab work and each individual will hand in his/her lab journal.
