PREFACE TO THE STUDENT

A knowledge of circuit theory or experience with circuits is not required for this class. You should expect the lab material to be presented accordingly. Some people in your lab may have experience and others may not; this is not unusual in this kind of course, and nothing can change it. If you are inexperienced you may have to do more work than someone else with experience. It is recommended that you study the circuit building tips and the glossary and thouroughly read each lab before you come to class to reap the maximum knowledge from the experience. Do not depend on your instructor too much as there may be many people in the lab who need help as well.

Your lab book should include a pictorial diagram and a schematic diagram for every circuit that you construct. Your lab book should also have an equipment list for every lab that includes your lab table number and all available equipment numbers.
