PHYS 2212L -  Principles of Physics II Laboratory

The text for this course is Cioffari's Experiments in College Physics, by Dean Edmonds Jr., published by Houghton Mifflin Company, 1997, referred to as the Cioffari manual.  Some labs use write-ups directly from the manual, while others use in-house write-ups (developed at Lawrenceville, Dunwoody, or Decatur) based on the corresponding lab from the manual.  A few labs are on material not appearing in the manual.
