Now the homework is due on Wednesday, so changing the office hour does not help anymore.
02/12/04:
(1) The Smart Dust lab is available for download. There are pre-lab questions and a lot of background info. about Smart Dust. We are not going to do step 8 (LED) for Smart Dust, so you can skip reading that part. (2) For people who go to the Monday lab, the Monday lab is cancelled. We are going to do the lab in the 6th week. As there are only 10 labs to do for this semester, we will have enough time to finish them all. (3) Next week Patrick is going to hold his office hour on 9:30-11:30am on Tuesday, as the homework is due on Wednesday.

EECS 1 Labs
Labs will start in the second week of the term. The labs will be held in Room 145 Cory Hall.
In the first lab meetings, the Graduate Student Instructors (GSIs) will introduce and demonstrate the oscilloscope, which will be the subject of the first actual lab that you should do (in the third week of the term).
Note that you can access on the class web site (www-inst.eecs/~ee1/) and print any of the labs that you choose to do. One version of the labs has been stripped of blank pages to reduce the amount of printing needed (see description in the Course Syllabus).
