The Lab TA in ACS 505 Main goal: prevent you from wasting your (precious!) time in the lab • Preliminary exercise: you should first ask Poese but Shaw can help you to the best of his knowledge • Lab exercise: I’m here to help you, but you should see me mostly when: • You’re stuck • Something is not clear in the procedure • You think something weird is going on in your measurements (equipment can fail…) • I will do my best to be “at the lab” when a group has signed up, but I cannot guarantee my presence – email or call if not around
