Topics and Projects
There are 7 topics, each being covered in 2 weeks, and with a project for each.
Project Reports
You are required to hand in 2 reports from projects 1-4,
and 2 reports from projects 5-7.
In addition you should hand in mini-reports for 2 other projects.
(A mini-report consists of figures from each question on the project.)
In general, reports are due before the start of the Monday lab following
the two-week period for the topic.
