Same as PHYS 1425 but with different and harder experiments.
My least favorite class at UVA
This class is the worst of all time, work in groups on the post lab quizzes and you will be fine. Just get through it!!
There's really not much to say about this lab. I'd guess that 95% of the people taking this course are only doing so because it's required by their major and not because they want to. If you're in the eschool, it's probably the last lab that's unrelated to your major, so keep that in mind as you're suffering through the labs.
This course is easy, but boring, and a requirement for most engineers, and a few physics majors. Making an A is not too hard, but does require some dedication.
This class gets a lot of hate for the workload for a 1 credit course. There is a lot of out of class work required so factor that in when planning. Overall, both my TAs are amazing and I have learned good things from this course and where lots of fundamental concepts come from. The work is just excessive.
