After each lab you will write a report summarizing what was accomplished and how it fits into the grand plan. This chapter describes what it should look like and what it should contain.
Note that although this is an Engineering, rather than an English, course, you will be expected to provide at least a basic narrative structure to your writing. I.e. there should be sentences and the occasional paragraph interspersed among the equations, numbers, and drawings. The prose which forms that narrative should be gramatically and orthographically correct.
Your presentation should follow the guidelines for the "During Lab" section of the notebook. but should be more organized and more succinct. Show equations and results when asked to "compute" a value.
There are two types of questions in the lab handout: numbered questions (labeled "Question 1:", etc) and the "in-line" questions that are interspersed with the description of the procedure (e.g. "Did the bulb light?", "What was the current?"). Answer the inline questions at the appropriate points in your narrative. Be sure to identify them in such a way that it is clear which question you are answering. (E.g. "Yes" and "300 mA" are not satisfactory answers. "The bulb lit" and " " are.) The numbered questions have their own section in the report, so save them for later.
Don't just say: "We did A, B, and C, and Ohm's Law works," tie it all together. Think of yourself as a Pulitzer prize winning journalist: you've gathered the news (in the previous section), now you're telling your readers what it means: "A, B, and C represent different techniques for measuring circuit variables, each having a different range of applicability:.... Ohm's law is handy if you're stranded on a desert island without an ammeter."
Keep in mind the purpose of these labs. We're not trying to verify the laws of physics. We're trying to learn techniques and gain insight into how electronic circuits and systems work and the kinds of things we might be able to do with them. However, if you do get a result which appears to contradict the laws of physics, try to figure out why.
