Announcements

*Lab notebooks for Experiment #5 and lab reports (assuming you are choosing to write a second report -- as I described last week, we will drop your lowest of the two lab report scores) are due by May 5. You may leave these on the front table near the printer in room 377 (the lab classroom), or you can leave these in Prof. Plourde's mailbox in the Physics main office (201).

*Please contact Prof. Plourde or one of the TAs (email is probably the easiest method) if you need assistance completing your measurements and analysis for your final experiment.

*If you signed out a key this semester, please return it to Diane Sanderson in the Physics main office (201) by the end of finals week.
