Notes

This course has a lab fee.

Students in this course, other sections of PHYS E-1AXL and in PHYS E-1AX may interact with one another, for example, in Canvas or labs. Accordingly, when students participate in the labs, they may do so alongside students in other sections. If students participate in a way that causes them to appear in recordings of the class, those recordings may be shown to students enrolled in the other courses.
