Labs
Lab Information:
Labs will be in-person lab sessions which meet on campus (RAYH 108).
- All lab equpiment is provided for you; you do not need to purchase anything.
- You will be keeping an individual lab notebook, but working in groups during the lab sessions.
- The lab notebooks will be shared with you via Box, which you can access online for free with your OSU-C account.
- Our lab room only has capacity for 20 students and some lab sections are full. No more than 20 students are allowed in the lab room at a time. So it is important to attend the lab session you are registered in. If you miss a lab, send your lab instructor an email and they will work with you to make that lab up. Only 2 labs can be made up at the end of the term.

Homepage Legend
The video below introduces you to the features on the calendar.
We have a naming/coding scheme for our curriculum and it's important you understand how to interpret it.
Lectures: We strongly encourage you to attend the live session if you can.
Live = Real-time group learning guided by the instructor (full credit for participation)
Async = Asynchronous Canvas quiz if you can't make live session (credit based on correctness)
Learning Cycle Numbers: 1 = Pre-lecture Familiarization, 2 = Foundational Lecture, 3 = Practice Post-lecture, 4 = Mastery Challenge Homework.
Code Legend: [Topic Code].[Lecture Number].[Stage in the Learning Cycle]
For Example: GR.L1.1 stands for General Review, lecture 1, pre-lecture homework.
Topic Codes:
- GR = General Review
- VO = Vector Operations
- AQ = Average Quantities
- K1 = One Dimensional Kinematics
- K2 = Two Dimensional Kinematics
- N1 = 1st Forces Module
- N2 = 2nd Forces Module
- N3 = 3rd Forces Module
- IM = Impulse and Momentum
- CM = Conservation of Momentum
- WE = Work and Energy
- CE = Conservation of Energy
Reflective Writing: RW 1 stands for the week 1 reflective writing exercise.
Class OneNote | Question Templates
All pre-lecture, lecture, and post-lecture questions where developed using OneNote. If possible, download the OneNote .one files and run them off your computer with the OneNote app, rather than using the browser version. That will allow you to use a tablet and write on the OneNote. For Mac users this is not so straightforward. The browser version is read only.
You can also import the PDFs to your favorite notes app. We apologize for the weird page breaks in the PDFs.
