Students then will hand in the revised version of their report for grading. The same procedure, though not mandatory, might be applied to informal reports as well if those are not of acceptable quality. Attendance at lectures is essential. The lectures will present the theoretical background for the laboratory work. However, lectures may not always present all the information required to perform a lab.
Students are responsible for acquiring additional information in heat transfer textbooks.
In general, it will not be possible to attend make-up laboratories for missed labs. Students are expected to judge their results to determine if they are reasonable, both during the lab and during the analysis. Data points should include error bars, and your reports should discuss the effect of uncertainty and propagation of errors. Experimental points in graphs should generally not be connected by lines since the suggested dependencies are usually not physically motivated. Experimental data is rarely perfect, and you need to be able to give plausible explanations for what you observe.
