back
weeks
and
have
an
off
week
to
work
on
both
reports.
It
is
expected
that
you
will
submit
the
group
reports
for
both
labs
approx.
10
days
after
doing
the
second
experiment
(exact
date
will
be
announced
by
the
TA
in
the
beginning
of
the
semester).
It
is
highly
recommended
that
you
begin
working
on
lab
reports
as
early
as
possible
as
the
work
can
pile
up.
You
are
given
a
semester
schedule
(syllabus)
with
all
pertinent
dates
regarding
this
course.
These
lab
reports
are
your
opportunity
to
develop
your
technical
communication
skills.
As
an
engineer
your
main
form
of
communication
to
your
employer
or
customer/client
will
be
in
the
form
of
technical
papers/reports
and
it
is
imperative
that
you
perfect
these
skills
if
you
wish
to
have
a
successful
career
in
engineering.
That
said,
both
the
professors
and
the
TAs
expect
top
quality
work
in
these
reports.
You
can
ask
help
from
the
TAs
or
the
professors
and
it
is
strongly
recommended
that
you
seek
for
help
in
advance
and
not
the
night
before
the
lab
reports
are
due
cause
at
that
point
they
wont
be
able
to
help.
Late
labs
will
only
be
accepted
with
permission
from
the
TAs
and
will
be
penalized
at
the
discretion
of
the
TAs.
You
are
encouraged
to
submit
a
draft
version
of
your
report
to
either
the
TAs
or
professors
for
feedback
of
final
draft.
Grading
criteria
The
following
criteria
are
a
breakdown
of
how
points
will
be
awarded
for
each
weeks
lab.
You
are
required
to
attach
a
grading
sheet
(labs
without
this
will
receive
deductions)
to
each
lab
you
hand
in,
and
follow
this
structure
at
your
lab
report
as
shown
below.
Hard
copies
are
required,
labs
submitted
via
email
or
Courseworks
are
not
accepted
unless
arrangements
have
been
made
with
the
TA
grading
the
lab.
As
you
can
see
the
results
and
discussion
account
for
25%
of
your
total
score
which
means
that
you
will
need
to
put
some
extra
effort
and
thought
into
this
portion
and
not
just
simply
present
the
results
with
no
analysis
or
discussion.
The
lab
reports
are
not
meant
to
be
too
onerous;
however
it
should
take
you
some
time
to
properly
analyze
and
interpret
the
data
and
to
create
a
concise
and
professional
document
that
communicates
your
results
and
findings
from
the
experiment.
