WebAssign: A WebAssign account is REQUIRED for every student in
Physics lab. Go to www.webassign.net . The WebAssign license for lab assignments should be purchased from
WebAssign at https://www.webassign.net.
In addition to lab assignments, this license includes the lab eManual, so a separate lab manual does not need to be
purchased. )
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERY IMPORTANT!
1) See the Moodle page for the class key for YOUR lab section. You must register on WebAssign for the SAME
lab section you are registered for on Mypack (NOT your section on Moodle, everyone
is in section 001 on Moodle!).
2) **IF** WebAssign asks for your ID number, enter your actual 9-diget ID NUMBER, NOT your Unity ID. Your ID number looks like this: 123456789, ALL numbers, NO letters
or symbols.
3) If you do not follow the
above instructions your WebAssign lab scores will not be associated with you in
the gradebook, and YOU WILL NOT GET A GRADE for the course.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where’s the lab manual? The lab manual is available from the “My
ebooks” link to the left of the top center on your
lab WebAssign page.
Adding a lab section after the 'Last day to add a course
without permission of instructor' is NOT
allowed. Adding or switching a lab
section for any reason after the University's Drop/Add Deadline it must be
approved by the Assistant Department Head: Keith Warren, in Riddick 421.
Cancelled Labs:
Labs are cancelled ONLY if classes are officially cancelled by the
University. If classes are not
officially cancelled, labs will meet as usual. Students do not have to make up
cancelled labs. Cancelled labs are not rescheduled, all other labs will meet as
originally scheduled.
Where is the lab schedule? The lab
schedule is linked from the webpage for each lab. Start at
www.physics.ncsu.edu/classes/pylabs.php and click on your course from the menu
at the top of the page.
Missing a lab: You are expected to attend all labs. There are no make-up labs for ANY reason. In certain circumstance you may be
excused from ONE lab.
If you will miss a lab due to being a participant
in a scheduled official University event you can present your Lab Instructor with a copy of the official
letter stating your participation and will be excused from that lab.
For ALL other requests for lab
exemptions, you must download
and fill out the
Lab
Exemption Request Form, and submit it to the Director of Undergraduate Labs, Robert Egler (robert_egler@ncsu.edu) within 7
days of the missed lab.

Expectations of All Lab Students:
·
You must arrive on time. Students more than 10 minutes late will
not be allowed to complete the lab.
·
You must bring a writing utensil and a calculator.
·
You are expected to be a good group member:
·
Include all members of the group in lab activities.
·
Work effectively and efficiently as a group member.
·
Assist other group members when needed.
·
Plagiarism and Working Together: It can be a fine line between working together
(which is fine) and having the same wording in your answer (which we will count
as cheating). Please complete all
WebAssign free response questions in your own words. Data collected from
previous semesters (even if it was collected by YOU) or data that is
collected by your group members while you were not present, or an answer
with wording essentially identical to someone else in your lab group is not
acceptable. All suspected plagiarism
will be evaluated, and action will be taken to punish the violators.
Supporting Fellow Students in Distress: As members of the NC State
Wolfpack community, we each share a personal responsibility to express concern
for one another and to ensure that this classroom and the campus as a whole
remains a safe environment for learning.
Occasionally, you may come across a fellow classmate whose personal
behavior concerns or worries you. When this is the case, we encourage you to
report this behavior to the NC State Students of Concern website: studentsofconcern.ncsu.edu/Although
you can report anonymously, it is preferred that you share your contact
information so they can follow-up with you personally.
ALL LAB GRADES ARE CONSIDERED FINAL at 5:00 PM on the LAST day of class. ALL discrepancies in grades should be brought to your Lab Instructor’s attention BEFORE that time.

For PY206 and PY209:
These one credit courses are
graded on the un-weighted average of all lab assignments. Your lab grade does not affect your grade in
PY205 or PY208. The grading scale is below.
Scores will be rounded to the nearest whole number, with 0.5 and up
scores going up to the next highest %, 0.4 scores and below going down to the
next lowest %. For example, 79.45 rounds
to 79.5 which rounds to 80%, 79.44 rounds to 79.4 which rounds to 79%
A+ = 97 and up A = 93 to 96 A-
= 90 to 92
B+ = 87 to 89 B = 83 to 87 B- = 80 to 82
C+ = 77 to 79 C = 73 to 77 C- = 70 to 72
D+ = 67 to 69 D = 63 to 67 D- = 60 to 62
F = < 60
