Course News and Notes

The new tutorial room is BSB 117

Midterm time and place see below.

The lecture on Bioelectricity is strictly for background understanding and a review for the Elec and Biomeds.  You will not be examined on that material.  The midterm will cover Lectures 1 to 10.

Laboratory News

Labs will start on September 17. You must do all labs to receive course credit.  If you cannot make your, arrange an alternate time (Mon., Tues., Wed.) in the weeks when that lab is supervised by the TAs.

 

Current lab List. To be modified for fall 2018

You must have the pre-lab done before coming to your lab.

If you do not have it done prior to the lab, your pre-lab mark will be out of 2.5 rather than 5

 

Labs 2 on require individual pre-lab reports and group post-lab reports
