A situation where students working in a group duplicate answers from a blackboard is an example of copying. Students who are found to have deliberately copied will be referred to the University Administration. There is more to a lab report than raw data. A lab report also contains justification for the circuit, as well as discussion and conclusions drawn from the data. With this in mind, lab partners will be expected to produce their own lab write-ups.
Lab reports represent a special case of academic honesty.
Lab partners must both be in lab during the same lab section. Since partners share the lab experience, the resultant circuit and collected data in lab reports from lab partners will be identical. For this reason, a lab report must include the name of your lab partner on the cover. Lab partners who submit identical lab reports are simply not following directions and are submitting two copies of one report. Appropriately enough, the one report will be graded and the resultant grade will be equally divided between the lab partners.
