The course will follow Cullity's text with some additions mostly pertaining to polymer crystallography. A good source for polymer crystallography is the book by R. J. Roe (of our department) or the book by Alexander mentioned in the syllabus. Students will learn the basics of production and use of x-rays, and their application to the characterization of crystalline and semi-crystalline structure in metals, polymers and ceramics.
You will need to be fully acquainted with the lab write-up prior to the lab. A short (10 minute) quiz will be given prior to the lab which will reflect 15% of the lab grade. Labs will generally require
2 hours and will in some cases require sample preparation prior to the lab on the part of the students. This will be a rotating assignment and the student responsible for preparing samples will be graded on his work (30% of that labs grade. The student is responsible to meet with the TA to prepare the samples for that weeks lab.)
Lab reports are due Monday at 5:00 pm in 410 Rhodes.
Late reports will not be accepted.
You should work in a group to
analyze data and develop your tables and plots to some extent but the words you
write (the text) need to be your own. Each student needs to prepare a
separate lab report that is distinguishable from your group members. You
should look at the lab reports as a learning opportunity for technical writing.

Lab Groups:
Course Requirements
Quizzes: Each Wednesday. Quizzes will
be held at the end of class for 1/2 hour.
Occasional Homework: Due 1 week from assignment (very rare).
Labs: Don't copy old labs.
All labs are due Monday at 5 pm for all lab sections.
Work together on labs and share data but your write-up should be done independently.
A short quiz (10 minutes) will be given at the start of each lab period covering the lab. This will reflect 15% of your lab grade.
Grading
All assignments (quizzes, labs and occasional homework) will receive equal weight. The following letter grades will be based on the average of these assignments,
- A = 90.0-100
- B = 80.0 - 89.9
- C = 70.0 - 79.9
Only Whole Grades Are Used Unless the Class Petitions for Half Grades at the Start of the Quarter (first week).
A comprehensive final based on all quizzes, homework and labs will be worth 3
assignment grades.
Schedule for the End of the Quarter
Monday, June 8, 9:45 - 11:45 a.m.
A = 100-90.0; B = 89.9-80.0; C = 79.9-70.0
Code = last three digits of M number.
