Syllabus : Primary Learning Outcomes  : Schedule  : Notes on the lab writeup

Full Syllabus (combined from the documents above)

Note: in order to properly view the  documents (except pdf)
 you must have dejaVu fonts and MathType fonts and you should have STIX fonts

Important details:

(1) You should ALWAYS save your lab report before sending it.

Name the document you save using the following convention:

Suppose your name is Kilay Tulizm and you want to send lab 03.
From swriter, save lab 03 as lab03KT without spaces (use only letters and numbers).
When you send your file, export it to produce a pdf file.

How to name the pdf file:
Suppose your name is Kilay Tulizm and you want to send lab 03.
  Choose the name lab03KT.pdf

How to send the pdf file:
In the subject line, make the subject the same as your file name prefixed by the course number and section with a colon
(here, it would be PHY24101:lab03KT.pdf: your name
Attach your pdf file to the email and send it. Make sure that you proofread the pdf file before sending it!

Where to email the labs to? 

email address: LyonPhysics@........
After sending, you should receive automatic confirmation of receipt.
