PHY132F - Practicals

Students will meet once per week on two hours in groups of about 36, which are further split into teams of 3 or 4.

Practicals are held in MP125-C on Fridays from 10am-12, or 2pm-4 (each student is registered in one or the other).

Each group will be led by two Practical Instructors, who are graduate student teaching assistants.

The goal of practicals is to do some hands-on activities, laboratory experiments and working in teams of 3 or 4, and to discuss material from the class in a less formal environment.
