I. Laboratory Report Evaluation
Neatness-10%
Theory-20%
Procedure-20%
Result-20%
Conclusion-30%

Every student is expected to attend each and every laboratory class. Failure to attend one
laboratory will result in NG unless the laboratory is done by arranging a make up class.
Failure to do a lab on time results in 20% deduction from the over all mark.

II. Laboratory Report
- Each experiment shall be described by a laboratory report
- Each laboratory report shall be hand written or typed
- No portion of the laboratory report shall be done in pencil
(including graphs, circuit schematics, charts, etc.)
- Each laboratory report shall consist of the following sections
A. Introduction
B. Methods and/or Procedures
C. Results, Observations, and/or Data Collection
D. Discussion and/or Conclusion

III. Laboratory Experiments

Keep in mind that lab reports are due one week after the completion of each lab exercise.
All experiments can be found in the laboratory manual.

IV. LABORATORY REPORT WRITING

Every Lab report has to have organization, structure, and must be written in a manner that
educates the reader. The following is a suggested structure and method for writing such a report.
Keep in mind that the intent of a report is to disseminate information to an audience that may or
may not have any idea of the nature or subject that you are describing in the report.

1. INTRODUCTION/ABSTRACT
-Briefly describe what the experiment is about.
-What is the subject matter?
-Who or what are the important components of the experiment?

2. PROCEDURE(S) / METHOD(S)
- List of equipment
- Formulas, equations, etc.
- Block diagrams
- Graphs, charts, tables, etc.
- Computer program
- Verbal description of the procedure or strategy used to perform the experiment

3. RESULTS / OBSERVATIONS
- Formulas, equations, etc.
- Block diagrams
- Graphs, charts, tables, etc.
- Computer programs
- Verbal explanation of the results and observations

4. DISCUSSION / CONCLUSION
- Verbal summary of the experiment or event
- Provide any explanations of new or unknown phenomena
- Reflect on how the experiment could be changed or improved
- Provide a personal commentary on how the experiment impacted you
