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.
Reports will not be accepted more than one week late. Unacceptable reports will be returned ungraded and the student will have one week to redo and turn in for regrading. The maximum score will be reduced to 12 points. Plagiarized reports will be given a grade of zero. You are expected to complete all experiments to receive a passing grade for the course.
