It is obligatory to wear a mask, covering your mouth and nose in the university. Please disinfect your hands upon entry to the room (there is a dispenser machine at the door). If you feel any symptom of illness (coughing, fever, runny nose, etc) you should
not come to the course. If you cannot attend from any justified reason (above symptoms, quarantine, problems with entering the country, etc), you should inform us at your earliest convenience.Information about COVID-related rules and measures (in English): http://www.bme.hu/news/20200903/New_information_on_the_coronavirus?language=en

Lab report requirements
Submission rules
- The lab reports should be sent as a pdf file to the e-mail address of the lab leaders, as well as to the
address.
- The file name should contain the names of the submitting students and the measurement exercise name using the format: stm_smith_white.pdf.
- The lab reports should be submitted within one week till Sunday midnight. In case of difficulties with the electronic submission the printed out reports are also accepted at the secretary of the Department of Physics till Monday noon.
- Once in a semester the submission can be delayed with a week without any punishment. Any other delay yields a subtraction of 15 points (< 1 week delay) or 30 points (> 1 week delay) from the final score (max. 100 points) of each delayed lab report.
Expected style of the lab report
The lab report should follow the style of scientific publications: short abstract, introduction, description of the applied measurement methods, description and discussion of the measurements, conclusions. Supporting information, like the key parts of the measurement code should also be submitted as an appendix. Spacial attention should be taken on the proper citation of the sources. Note, that carefully edited figures are also key requirements in a high quality publication.
