It is a foundation course taken by undergraduates across the university's programmes, not one department's course. Laboratory practicals continuing from PHY 117, covering the theoretical concepts of PHY 121 through quantitative measurement, treatment of measurement errors, and graphical analysis.
- Which programmes take PHY 128?
- PHY 128 is a foundation course taken by undergraduates across University of Uyo programmes — it belongs to the university, not to one department. Whatever your department, Areté covers it with the same outline, textbooks and study tips.
- What topics are covered in PHY 128?
- The PHY 128 outline covers 7 topics: Continuation of quantitative measurement techniques from PHY 117; Treatment of measurement errors; Graphical analysis of experimental data; Electricity and magnetism experiments; Data collection and tabulation of observations; Numerical and graphical analysis, drawing conclusions from data; Preparation and presentation of practical reports.
- What textbooks are recommended for PHY 128?
- Recommended reading for PHY 128: Practical Physics by G.L. Squires; Physics Laboratory Manual by Loyd.
- How do I pass PHY 128?
- Arrive at every practical knowing the theory — lab demonstrators mark understanding, not just results Record ALL raw readings in your lab notebook before doing any calculations Always quote uncertainties with your measurements — it demonstrates scientific rigour Submit lab reports on time; late submissions lose marks even when the content is perfect
