PHY152H1S Winter 2017 Practicals Welcome!  The Practicals are mandatory weekly 3-hour sessions in which you will get together in teams of 2 or 4 to work on hands-on activities, experimental measurements and error analysis and computer simulations.

What you do in Practicals will be directly related to what is going on in class, and is designed to help you succeed on the tests and exam.  Practicals are sometimes called "labratorials", as they combine traditional aspects of both laboratories and tutorials.

All PHY152 Practicals are held in MP125-C.
