PHY152H1S Winter 2019 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. 

All PHY152 Practicals are held in MP127. 

There are eight Practicals sections with a maximum of 32 students per section.  TAs whose names are in italics were also TAs for PHY151 last fall.
