Description	Journal: European Journal of Physics Traditional lab sections in introductory physics courses at Mount Royal University (MRU) were replaced by a new style of lab called "labatorials" developed by the Physics Education Development Group at the University of Calgary. Using labatorials in introductory physics courses has lowered student anxiety and strengthened student engagement in lab sessions. Labatorials provide instant feedback to the students and instructors. Interviews with students who had completed Introductory Physics labatorials as well as the anonymous comments left by them showed that labatorials have improved student satisfaction. Students' improved their understanding of concepts compared to students who had taken traditional labs in earlier years. Moreover a combination of labatorials and Reflective Writing can promote positive change in students' epistemological beliefs.
