white notebook pages, report sheets

[robert zellmer]

Do *NOT* tear out the white notebook pages. They should ALWAYS
remain in the notebook.  The carbons are torn out before leaving lab
and given to the TA, whether or not you finish an experiment.  Do
not scan or take pictures of the notebook and include them as your
procedure.  Look at my example for a report to see what you're suppose
include for the procedure section.  Generally, it's just a bibliographic
reference with the changes which were made (exp 1 may be a little more
extensive, as pointed out previously).

The report sheets from the manual are included as part of the report.
You have two choices for this:

       1)  Fill in the report sheets, scan them or take a picture and 
include
             them in the report.  If you used Excel to do some of the 
calculations
             and graphs include the Excel worksheets as well, even if 
they aren't
             formatted to look like the report sheet. We want to see the
             numbers you used in Excel for the calculations and graphs.

       2) Use Excel to make data tables and report sheets. Make the
             Excel worksheets look pretty much like the report sheet.  
Fill in
             the Excel worksheet (programming the equations in is very 
useful).
             Then include the Excel worksheets (right from Excel - same 
for the
             graphs) in the report in place of the report sheet.  You do 
not have
             to copy all the numbers over to the report sheet.  However, the
             report sheet from the manual still needs to be included in 
the report,
even if not filled in.

*This is the preferred method and is often the easiest****way to do things.*

In either case, make sure you have units somewhere (in the column headings
is most convenient) and make sure you have the correct number of s.f.  As
mentioned before, this is a little tricky to do in Excel but can be done by
setting the correct number of decimal places.
