What is UO Lab?
• UO Lab is a place to:
– See real-world equipment
– Apply the theory seen in classes
– Practice writing
– Practice designing experiments
– Think deeply about practical applications
– Where data are not always consistent, things
don’t always work, and THINKING is required
• Like the real world
Things To Practice and Learn in UO Lab
• Practice safety
• Learn “new” things
• Have fun
• Practice statistics
• Practice teamwork
• Learn the questions that should be asked
This is an active-learning class
What isn’t UO Lab?
• UO Lab is NOT:
– A writing class
– A plant design class
– A statistics class
– A choose-your-own adventure class
– A place to catch up on HW for other classes
Let’s Make This A Great Class!!
• Your attitude will make all the difference in
the world!
• You will get out of this class what you put
into this class!!

Harding’s Ideal Scenario
• Positive learning environment
– Have fun!
– Culture of safety
• Dedicate 3 hours during the lab period to this class
• Multitask:
– Gathering data
– Analyzing data
– Writing
• No outside distractions
– Homework for other classes
