This course is a three-credit course, with three hours of lecture and three hours of lab scheduled per week.
For fall 2009, lecture will be held in ENS 115 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 11:00 AM to noon, beginning August 26th and ending December 4th.
The laboratory sessions will be held in ENS 252B on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from August 31st to December 4th.
This course does not require a semester project nor does it have a final examination. Final grades will consist of laboratories, homework, and exams. Exams will be based on material covered during class lecture, on homework assignments, during laboratory sessions, and in reading assignments.
All of the lectures (including the supplemental lectures) are available for download as a single zip file: EvansRealTimeF09.zip.
