Suggestions for correctly written lab report
1) Cover Page w/ header and footer are missing from some lab reports.
2) Inserting symbols (ºC, α, β, Ω, etc…) in MS WORD --> INSERT --> SYMBOL (if you can
not find it, see me).
3) Omit materials sections. Just insert the corrected experimental procedures.
4) Chemical Table (see lab website - copy into your lab report)
5) Try to keep the whole table on one page. Don't split tables over two pages.
6) Post-lab questions (number 1,2 3,etc ….) answer each question separately (not all in one
paragraph)
7) Write your lab report independently. I have notice wording, formatting and tables being
copied in reports submitted. Students caught copy/pasting sections will receive a zero for
that lab reports.
