2025 spring labs¶
Please use the Canvas pages to access the complete syllabus, your current grading, lab code of conduct, and all assignments. Additional information on uncertainty analysis, software, and introductory material for each week/worksheet can be found here. Contact the lab manager Richard Guarino if you cannot attend a class, otherwise your first point of contact about other questions is your graduate student lab instructor (see below).
Physics graduate TAs supporting the development of course material: Ana Segovia anis@smu.edu, Antone Amalbert aamalbert@smu.edu (room 16)
Lab manager: Richard Guarino rguarino@smu.edu (room 26A)
Lab supervisor: Tobias Neumann tneumann@smu.edu (room 151)
Make use of your lab instructors' office hours (usually for 1 hour)!
