Possibilities
The lab project will be a piece of original research. You will first design an experiment and submit a proposal describing it to us. You will then perform the experiment and submit the results written up as a formal report in the format of a manuscript to be submitted for publication.
The final will be comprehensive, but will emphasize topics not covered by previous exams.
