IE 312 Laboratory Report Format, Instructions and Rubric A substantial part of the required work in this course involves writing short, individual reports on the work you have done in the laboratory. Each report should summarize the work performed in lab as well as analysis and interpretation of any additional lab data given to you in support of the lab. Your laboratory report should demonstrate both your understanding of the subject and your ability to communicate that understanding to others. Your report grade will be based on your success in both areas. Each lab report will include a Report Body (text) that is limited to 2- pages in length for in-person labs and 4-pages in length for online lab/homework assignments. In addition your report will include additional figures, tables and references that are appropriate for the lab report and are not restricted in length. All components of the report, including figures and tables, are to be your individual contribution. Do not insert figures and tables copied by others. General Instructions:  Submit your report as a single .pdf  Use a legible font; a font size of 11 and a spacing of 1.0  Number all pages Do not use a separate title page. Use a brief title block at the top of the first page of the report that includes:  NAME: Your name and lab section number  LAB: Title of the experiment from the lab handout  DATE: Date of the experiment (when you did it in the FAME lab)  the words IN-PERSON or ONLINE depending on whether you were physically present in lab (attendance will be checked) Laboratory Sections [2 pages text (in-person) or 4 pages text (online)  Abstrac t do not include  Introduction do not include  Objectives  Procedures do not include 0

 Results  Discussion of Results  Summary/Conclusions Attachments: (in addition to the pages of text)  Figures and tables: numbered, titled and called out in the body of the report  References: chose an appropriate standard reference format for both text and internet resources LAB REPORT GRADING RUBRIC Objective(s) (10 Points) Please write the objective(s) of the experiment in your words in one or two sentences. Objectives (Total 5 possible points) Criteria Excellent Needs Improvement Unacceptable 3 2 1-0 Purpose Objectives clearly define the specific areas to be investigated and focus on the most important characteristics of the investigation. Objectives define the areas to be investigated but are general and lack detail. Objective is irrelevant or focuses on peripheral or inconsequential concerns. Presentatio n 2 1 0 Objectives are explicitly stated in one or two sentences that are grammatically correct and focused. Objectives contain a few grammatical errors and some ancillary information. Objectives contain moderate or worse grammatical errors and ancillary information. Results (30 Points) This section of the report shows what you found. Please include any tables and graphs that were used for recording and the complete data for them here. This section should also include any observations and photographs that you have for the experiment. Do not try and explain the results here, this is all that you observed and recorded. Note: All data tables and graphs must be carefully thought out. In general, the data tables used in your lab handouts must be reorganized for inclusion in your lab reports.

esults (total 30 possible points) 15-10 10-5 5-0 Commentary Text briefly introduces all tables and graphs, provides a summary of each, and identifies all important trends to the reader. Text states which data is being ignored and provides justification for doing so. Text introduces some of the tables and graphs but ignores others. Some important trends are not identified. Some relevant graphs have been omitted. In depth analysis that belongs in discussion is included. Tables and graphs are either omitted, not introduced, or not summarized and trends are not identified. Presentation 10-8 8-5 4-0 All tables and graphs are clearly laid out and formatted correctly. Units are correctly identified for all data presented. Some tables and graphs are not clearly laid out or formatted correctly. Some units are incorrectly identified or omitted. Tables and graphs are not clearly laid out and formatted correctly. Units are incorrectly identified or omitted. Relevant data is not included. Captions 5-4 3-2 1-0 All tables and graphs have relevant captions that clearly explain the content of the table or graph. All captions are in the appropriate location. Some tables and graphs are missing relevant captions. Captions are not in the appropriate location. Captions are irrelevant and not in the proper place. Discussion (40 Points; graded together with conclusions) In this section, the results are interpreted and you make your inferences. Describe the why you think the data turned out like it did. Insert your scientific opinion in this section. Any calculations and graphs based on the results are to be displayed here. Make sure you talk about the questions from the end of each handout here. When writing this part, ask yourself the following questions. In what ways do my results confirm, contradict, or modify my original expectations? In what ways are the results limited? What further tests are needed? What reasons do I have for trusting the results? What reasons are there for believing that these relationships are significant? This is the section of your report that separates the A's from the C's! Conclusion/Summary (10 Points; graded together with discussion) This section is a summary of the results and discussion from the report. Report only the key findings of the report here. Directly answer the report objective(s) here. Do not be vague. 2
