PHYS 101L  

Welcome to the ISU Physics Department's PHYS101L web site. All labs begin the week of January 23rd during the 2012 spring semester. You will need to download, print (on a high quality printer) and bring with you to the first (orientation) lab a copy of the syllabus and a lab schedule for either the fall or spring semester. Much of the material on this site is in Adobe PDF format. If you are using a computer in a campus computer lab the Acrobat Reader that reads these files should already be installed (f not, a consultant will help you).   If you are using your home or any off-campus computer you can install the Acrobat Reader, free of charge, by following the directions below. Please visit the lab FAQ for more tips on downloading files, course procedures, etc.

Enjoy the semester and good luck.
