Summary

Note1: "Difficulty" is a subjective attribute to experiments. It ranges from 1 (very easy) to 5 (very difficult). Note2: Room 229 is the Resource Centre. The experiments assigned to this room have to be taken out as parts and setup in rooms 235, 238 or 239.

PHY293H1F students: 3 weights from Groups I, III and V.

PHY294H1S students : 4 weights from Groups II, III, IVand VI.
