Lab Report Instructions

The following link outlines the guidelines for writing a formal lab report in this class. The instructions may seem quite long, however if you choose to read and follow them you can expect a far better grade on the report.

 Lab Report Instructions

Each time you are asked to write a formal lab report it will be graded using the following rubric. It is highly recommended that prior to turning in a lab report you self evaluate using the rubric. This will allow you to make corrections that may have resulted in missed points. For example: Forgetting to include a materials section will cost you 10 points.
