Marks Final Notes - Cratering Pt1 & Pt2

For the most part this two day lab follows the 121/131 version pretty closely. The only significant differences that come to mind are:

Other than the above I think I push the discussion of curve fitting and interpreting goodness of fit parameters harder than in 121/131. The expectation is these are physics majors who will all go on to PHYS211. Going into the subject a bit deeper is both justified and within their abilities. I tell the TA's to point out how the reduced Chi-Sq is basically the same information as the residuals, just all lumped into one number. But that it pays to look at both because you can have a “good” Chi-Sq with clear underlying systematic showing up in a plot of the residuals.
