Laboratory Sections for
PY 105 (Elementary Physics I) Fall 2007

Instructor Information Recent Updates

  • Email cserino@physics.bu.edu

  • Web-page http://physics.bu.edu/~cserino

  • Office Metcalf Science Center (SCI) Room B37

  • Phone 3-3424

  • Please read your course syllabus.

  • Please come to lab prepared.

  • The room that the lab is in changes weekly. Check the lab schedule in SCI.

    • I will be your lab Teaching Fellow for PY 105 (Elementary Physics I) for the Fall of 2007. I will be holding office hours once weekly (see below) and by appointment. I am a second year graduate student with a BS in Physics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The goal of my lab sections will be to compliment the lecture material with hands-on experiments that (hopefully) verify the theory you cover in lecture. If you have any questions / comments / concerns about any aspect of PY 105 or if you would like some particular information added to this website, please contact me.
