Include your name, the name of your recitation instructor, the meeting time and the assignment number on your first sheet. Please do not fold your assignments in half length-wise, as is the custom in some engineering courses. In addition, in some weeks, optional extra-credit labs will be proposed. Due dates are listed in the course schedule. Lab reports are under the same constraints with regard to orderliness, neatness, and being bound together as homework assignments.
Students sometimes have trouble writing good lab reports.
Include in your report explicit, easy to identify, answers to all questions posed in the lab. Include a sketch of any graph you are asked to plot, labelled so it is clear which graph it is. Include the results of any computer algebra calculation you are asked to do, labelled so it is clear where the result came from and what it means. DWwhen you are asked to write a lab report or a paragraph discussing something, write as clear a discussion of what you have seen in the lab as possible. In writing your report, if possible, relate what you have seen in the lab to related material in the text and lectures.
