  • To write on prelab and report PDFs without printing/scanning:
         =>
    mobile devices typically have free or inexpensive apps for annotating PDF files
         =>
    some online sites such as  dochub.com allows you to write on PDFs and pasting in pictures

 
  • Canvas cannot handle large pdf files!

          Before submitting any pdf, please reduce the size of the file by using:
         
pdfcompressor.com

          If you upload multiple files to pdfcompressor.com, it's better to download each compressed file separately if you don't want to deal with unzipping a zip file.

  • If your report ends up in the form of multiple pdf files, please combine them (in the right page order!) into a single pdf file using: combinepdf.com


The procedures and documents typically assume an actual on-the-ground laboratory.
Online videos (posted on Canvas) will show that experience, and data will be provided either through the videos or by simulations (if available).
We will go over obtaining the data during the scheduled lab zoom sessions.

Links to the lab documents for upcoming experiments will be posted as we progress through the term

Links to experiment videos will be posted on Canvas

Lab schedule and due dates are listed in the course syllabus
