Course Objectives
The objectives of this experiment to reach in achieving the above stated goals fall into two
categories . First are the lab skills to be obtained , and the second are fundamental concepts to be
learned.
Teaching & Learning Methods
Class lecture of 40 min, to describe the theoretical concepts followed by applying the
knowledge to conduct the experimental part. There will be an active-learner approach. You
are required to prepare for the experiments..

Additional Notes
Exams
There will be mid-term exam and a comprehensive final. If an exam is missed for a
documented serious and compelling reason (e.g., signed doctor's excuse), a make-up
exam will be held at a time and place of the instructor's discretion. Please bring only
pencils and calculators to the exams.
