Experiment Navigator

Each guide replaces the matching chapter of the department manual. It keeps what you need in the lab and drops the rest. Linked experiments are ready; the rest are coming soon. Set up the tools in the Setup Guide before your first lab.

INFO

Lab work is graded by your TA during the session. The Lab work section at the end of each guide is the work you hand in, not a worked solution.

How each guide is laid out

• Objectives: what you can do by the end.
• Background: only the theory the lab work actually uses, with a quick-reference table you can keep open.
• Examples: complete programs to build and step through. Predict each result before you run it.
• Lab work: the hand-in tasks, with hints.
• Common problems: the mistakes everyone makes once.
