Rule in Lab: You must bring a hardbound data book to lab every session, and record all of your data in it. Each member of a team is individually responsible for recording all data.
Lab Report: Your laboratory reports will be prepared using a WORD Template that is widely used for professional publication of journal articles and conference papers by professionals in most fields of science and engineering. You can find an example (PDF file) of laboratory reports (from PHYS218). You will develop skills in technical writing and presentation that will be directly applicable in your following courses and in your work as a professional after you graduate.
