The labs, which are held on Fridays 9:00 - 11:40am in room GH411, 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 the teaching assistant.
