The lab, which are held on Fridays 12:40 - 3:20 in room GH301, are an important component of this course. Each lab consists of a set of experiments and exercises. Each lab is worth a specific mark (please see the course outline for the grading scheme for the course). The labs will be instructed by a teaching assistant.
