Laboratory Activities
- Analysis of Data
The following documents are used to teach students how to analyze data.
- Formal Lab Reports
You will not get credit in this class just for being in lab. A lab activity demands a lab report.
- Lab report format [pdf] This document outlines the basic format of a typical lab report.
- Lab report template [doc] for Microsoft Word. Take my words and replace them with your own.
- Top ten stylistic errors I never want to see in a lab report again
- Sample lab reports of good to excellent quality
- How not to write a lab report by Somebody
- Research
shows that conciseness is interpreted as intelligence. Deliberately
increasing the complexity of vocabulary does not make you sound
more intelligent. Keep your formal lab reports as simple as possible.
- You may email your lab reports and written assignments as pdfs if
you have access to the full version of Adobe Acrobat. As an option,
you may wish to try one of these free conversion web sites. I do not
know how well they work or how easy they are to use. Do not ask me
for support. You're on your own here.
