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.Organization of Students and eTestats:
All organizational matters are handled via the Webtool. You can log in with your nETHZ credentials.

Testing your experiments
Before the students come to the lab, you have to test your experiments. I sent around the days/times where the labs are open. I am often around during these times. However, if you want to make sure that I am available for you, send a mail beforehand to agree on a day/time!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.Assessment Grid | |
