Reports and Notebook - using pencil, whiteout, carbons, etc.

[robert zellmer]

Some of you have e-mailed to say you didn't take 1210 here at OSU
and were wondering about the notebook.

Here's information for all of you.

For your notebooks you should be using PEN and all
data and information taken during lab should be in the
notebook and not the manual or another sheet of paper
Do NOT write anything that should be in the notebook
in the manual or on another paper, even if you intend to
copy it to the notebook before leaving lab.  That is not
allowed.  Any information taken during lab that is
pertinent to the lab goes directly in the notebook.

Look at the following links:

*Chem Lab Notebook Exercise - Guidelines for Lab Notebooks* 
<http://undergrad-ed.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/labnotebook/index.html>

*My Suggestions for Writing a Notebook Procedure* 
<http://chemistry.osu.edu/%7Erzellmer/chem1220/notebook_proc_1220.pdf>

The second link is actually an example using exp 14.   Note how
I took the first two steps in the procedure and rewrote them in
short concise easy to follow steps rather than in full sentence form.

You MUST sign and date each page and have the TA sign and date
the pages and you give your carbon pages to the TA before leaving lab.
If you do not do this you will have to repeat the exp.  If you haven't
finished the experiment let the TA know before leaving lab. They
will still sign your pages (marking incomplete on the last page) and
you will still turn in the carbons.

You will NOT be allowed to begin the experiment without first having
the procedure written in your notebook.


Your reports can be typed but don't have to be.  However,
they should be in PEN.  Do NOT use pencil.

If you make a mistake in the notebook or report simply
put a single line through the mistake and write the correct
number, unit, etc. next to the data crossed out.  Do NOT
erase.  Do not scribble over the mistake. Do NOT use whiteout.

We will deduct points for these things.
