Dear all,

 Attached is the raw data for the Raman lab.  We gave them German names for the time being.

 Patricia 

Hi class,

 Attached is the data for sample 2.

Patricia

Dear all, 

Below is the general idea of how to do a lab write up.  I'm sure many of you have seen this before. 

After the labs, I will post the results on the blog so you can obtain the data that was obtained during your lab.  I will make sure that the data is on the blog by the end of the lab day.  If I have any specific questions I would like you to answer in your lab, I will make sure to include it in a blog post.

The Lab Write Up

Title: What is this all about anyway? In a nutshell, how would you describe your investigation?

Purpose: Here you can expand on your title. This is where you should put your hypothesis.

Materials: Describe the materials you used.

Safety Procedures: Make sure other people who try this at home know what the dangers are and how to avoid them.

Procedures: Give a detailed description of what you did. That way another brilliant scientist can recreate your work or figure out exactly what you did.

Data and Analysis: Put all the relevant data here. You should put in all data and calculations you used to come up with your conclusion. Putting your aunt's shoe size, while interesting, is usually not important to your investigation.

Uncertainty (Error) Analysis: Here you should explain where your conclusions could be wrong or how certain you are of your data. (e.g. "Since the kangaroo was jumping at the time and we were driving along in the car, we could only measure it's height to plus or minus 10 cm.")

Conclusion: Tie it all together. Tell us if you found data to support your hypothesis (your guess was right) or not. Tell us if you had to change your hypothesis and what it all means.  Note, this part must relate to your purpose.  If it doesn’t either your conclusion or your purpose is incorrect. 

Dear class,

This morning only 1 person showed up on time for the lab while we were expecting a group of 5! 

Since this class is based on doing the labs, attendance is a requirement.  Therefore, the grade that you receive will be based on attendance as well as the lab writeup. 

If you do not show up to the lab that you were assigned, your lab report will have 50% taken off automatically.  You may switch to a different lab group only if you get permission from me in advance.

I hope to see you in subsequent labs.

Patricia

Hi all,

Just  a reminder that we are doing the Raman lab this week and it will be held in the Centralized Characterization Facility: Bossone 1st floor.  Ioannis will be doing the Raman lab with you.

 I will post details on the lab writeup shortly.

Patricia

Hi class,

Here's lecture 1 again.  It should not have passwords associated with it.  Let me know if you have any issues.

Hi,

before you can enter the lab you need to send a prove of your safty training to Patricia.

Three safety trainings are required for our labs:

1.) Laser systems

2.) Compressed gas

3.) Chemicals

If you have already attended these classes please send the confirmation to Patricia. Without this prove you are not allowed to enter the lab.

In the case that you have not attended the safety class here is how it works: Attend the following online course:

You may be required to create an account first. After registering you can select the mentioned safety classes.

 Hope that works,

 Ioannis

Hi all,
