PHY131S: Introduction to Physics I

PHY131S - Practicals

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

Practical code	Group code	Room	Time	TA1	TA2
P0402	R2C	MP125C	Thursdays 12:10 to 2:00pm	Ardavan Darabiborojeni	Hoi Kwan Lau
P0404	R3C	MP125C	Thursdays 2:10 to 4:00pm	Deepak Chandan	Alex Forcier
P0501	F1C	MP125C	Fridays 10:10am to 12:00noon	Alireza Mashayekhi	Xiaoyi Zhao
P0502	F2C	MP125C	Fridays 12:10 to 2:00pm	Hoi Kwan Lau	Deepak Chandan
P0504	F3C	MP125C	Fridays 2:10 to 4:00pm	Xiaoyi Zhao	Alireza Mashayekhi

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.
