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. You will not be admitted to class unless you have completed this pre-lab writeup in you notebook. At the end of each lab period you will hand in the duplicate data page from your notebook. Three points of each lab grade will be based upon the quality of your notebook pages. 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. Feel free to work with other students, but plagiarism is unacceptable. A sample lab report, which provides you with the proper organizational format for all lab reports, may be obtained by clicking here. A short tutorial on how to use Mathcad to calculate results from your laboratory data may be obtained by clicking here . Please contact the instructor if illness prevents you from attending your lab session.
