Why are labs required as a physics major?
Just tell me what the fuck will happen why do I have to do all this bullshit. I guess I'll just switch to math.

Yeah switch to math and be even more useless to humanity

How is physics more useful than math?

>how is architecture more useful than fingerpainting?

lmao if you think all of physics is done with a Mac on your lap sitting in your office then you are not made for it. change to faggotmathicz

because they need an excuse to charge you more

If you can't carry out simple experiments, how are you supposed to carry out more complicated ones later?

its not even the experiments its the lab reports that are annoying

Yeah I was shitposting earlier but dude if you like physics then don't let some gruntwork lab reports dissuade you. I hated doing them for chem but it's just a chore you need to do, it's not supposed to be fun. At the very least it gives you some practice in preparing reports of experiments. If you find that you enjoy math much more then switch to that, don't let your decisions hinge on whether or not you need to do some menial task; think about your future career.

Maybe not for lower year labs, but doing a full blown lab report really does solidify your understanding of the topic. If they're made properly, the lab will seem easy at first glance but actually have a lot of small nuances that require a very solid understanding of the material to ascertain. It's good practice to write labs, typing out your thinking concisely and logically is beneficial. Also, labs are infinitely more important that classwork. Without experiments you can't prove shit, its far easier to write out an equation than it is to think of a method to test the validity of the equation.
