The schedule for the laboratory which accompanies this PHY170 course is below. If you have not enrolled in a laboratory section (PHL170-XX), you must do so pronto! Everyone who takes PHY170 must also be enrolled in a PHY170 section!! Your grade from lab will be given to me (Dr. Waite) at the end of the semester by Dr. Thornton and included in your final PHY170 grade. Any questions or issues concerning lab should be addressed to Dr. Thornton, his office is 3 doors down from mine.
