Page is being updated... ... and some documents are still from last semester. It's gradually being updated, and in case of question or confusion, please contact Andreas Eggenberger

Useful hint for those assistants supervising online experiments

A nice tool to organize the online lab classes via zoom - when you have multiple groups - is the breakout room feature of zoom. For detailed information see here Zoom Breakout Room.

Organization of the lab classes

Below you find information on how the lab course is organized. Most questions should be answered in the documents, however, if there is anything unclear or you have a question, please do not hesitate to contact me, either via mail or the office and helpdesk HPP J 14.

Testing your experiments

Before the students come to the lab, you have to test your experiments. Please check in the proposed schedule when you should come by. If the day/time does not work for you, let me know ASAP. If you don't need to test your experiments, because you've already supervised them, let me know as well!

Improving the Manuals

There are always things to improve. If you have suggestions or spot mistakes (language, formal, content), please let me know, and help improving the manuals. Also, if you have any kind of constructive feedback, I very much appreciate it! Ideally you send your feedback via mail.

Grading the report

Below you find a table should serve as basis for grading the report. Note that it is ideal to give a separate grade for the measurement/experimental execution and for the report. Also, the grading table is rather generic and might need to be adapted to the specific experiment you are supervising.
