[Phys-L] Re: Lab DMM Recommendations?



I was thinking the same thing almost. Does anyone require students to
buy a meter (from the bookstore, for example) BEFORE coming to lab? The
really cheap ones (<$10) aren't too much of a strain on students'
budgets and students will be more careful about fuses and connections if
breaking one means they have to buy another.

This would also decrease the diffusion coefficient (or rate at which
meters diffuse out of the room...).

Just occurred to me the soln. (assuming the cheapie will do)
is to give
each student one of them (you have a lab fee, no?); if one destroys
it, one buys the replacement.
