All observations should be entered directly into the Official Laboratory Notebook in ink. Include a table of contents in the front. The introduction, lab procedure, and an outline of data to be collected must be entered before you come to lab each week and the duplicate page from your notebook will be collected at the beginning of the lab period. At the end of each lab period you will hand in the duplicate data page from your notebook. The most common causes of poor scores are failure to turn in reports on time, and failure to follow the required format.
Reports are due at the beginning of the next lab period.
Feel free to work with other students, but please don't plagiarize. Identical reports from different students will result in zero points for all involved. You are expected to complete all experiments to receive a passing grade for the course. This means doing the experiment and turning in a report. Please contact the instructor before your lab period if illness or an emergency prevents you from attending lab.
