[Quantum-ms] Poll: what day is best for the Quantum Lab course: Monday or Tuesday

[Abhay Narayan Pasupathy]

Dear Quantum MS students,

The first class for the lab PHYS 5081 will be held tomorrow at 1:10 pm. We
will meet on the 6th floor of Pupin Hall. On the first day, we will go over
experiments in the lab, and then have some lab tours of experimental
quantum labs in physics.

Some of you have written to me about possible conflicts with this class.
Unfortunately the only two possible days that this lab can be held are
Monday and Tuesday (the labs are in use other days of the week). After
consulting with your schedules, Tuesday was chosen as the day with fewer
conflicts. Please note that the class will not be offered in the spring,
and that it is a required class for the program. I'm happy to discuss if
there are ways to allow you to attend other classes on Tuesdays, but let us
do this in person tomorrow. I notice that only some of you are registered
for the class on courseworks - please do so at the earliest.

Best wishes,
Abhay.
