In any case, the report should show me that you understand the point of the lab, and should do this in a self-contained way. Do not write things which are not true, or are not supported by your data. If you think you are done with the lab and want to leave before the end of the period, you must show me your results and calculations first. I insist on this so that you may take data again if necessary. We have not issued a lab book this semester.
All labs are on the Web.
Before each lab period each of you should read the procedure, and at least two students in each lab group should print it out and bring it in. Our labs use a fairly sophisticated computer-driven data collection and processing system, based on Macintosh computers. Your best tactic is to follow instructions carefully. Any action taken to avoid collision shall . . . be positive, made in ample time and with due regard to the observance of the rules of good seamanship. If you are confused about the course material, uncertain on something or for any reason think some help might be useful, seek it early .
