I spent some time today trying to figure out what to do with this week's lab. Last week we looked at neutralizing spherical lenses (equal power in all meridians). This week was some review of spherical lenses and introducing spherocylindrical lenses (combination of sphere and cylinders, cylinders having zero power in one meridian and full power in the other meridan, 90 degrees from the first). This is where all hell broke loose. My lab partner didn't know what she was doing (now verified), but she thought she knew exactly what she was doing. She also didn't work with me AT ALL, and instead wandered away from me to other groups so she could tell them what to do (wrong). So, pretty much everyone around me had no idea what was going on for the full 3 hours of lab (and beyond). Now, after much practice, I have discovered that my points brought up in lab were actually correct --- that's right, I was right after all! Since we are randomly assigned lab partners each week, I can smile knowing that I will probably not have another lab with her this semester!
