Physics Lab Information
For all PHYS - 1441, 1442, 1443, and 1444 in-person labs:
If you registered for an in-person lab section, all labs will be held in person. We have eliminated the hybrid option for lab courses.
For all PHYS - 1441, 1442, 1443, and 1444 online labs:
If you registered for an online lab section, this information is for you. Your lab sessions will be 100% online, but they will be synchronous. You will meet with your Teaching Assistant (TA) on Microsoft Teams. The Teams link will be set up by your TA and made available on Canvas.
Please carefully follow the following lab schedule:
