Renovation of the Introductory Physics Laboratory Rooms

"Before" pictures from Spring 1999

Work stations were stuck along the walls in order to reach the few available outlets.

It was difficult for the instructor to monitor the progress of some of the groups.

Typical work station for three students.

The students were forced to sit in a line. Only one student had easy access to a computer

The front of the lab room was "reserved" for the instructor, chalkboards, and extra equipment.

When you entered the room, it felt like the instructor was the important person, not the students.
