1. Lab reports are graded based on their content, format, organization, language and academic honesty. The grade distribution for the lab reportis mentioned on the Standard Cover Page that you must use.

2. All the lab reports should have the same format to objectively judge its quality, depth of discussion and analysis. Always use

3. The length of the report bulk (without cover page, table of contents, appendices) should not exceed 10 pages oftyped material excluding pictures,graphs and tables. In case of writing more than 10 pages, only the first10 pages will be graded.

4. The lab report should include the following sections (eachshould start at a different page):

 I    Cover page: Only use the standard page Downloadthe standard cover page here
II.   Abstract (page numbering starts here)
III   Table of Contents and figures (use headingsand caption options in Word to generate them)
IV.  Introduction: maximum a pageoftyped material excluding pictures & comparisons tables if any.
V.   Theory: Maybe added in case of a qualitativeor quantitative theory
VI.  Objective
VII. Specimen Preparation (specimen type, etching solution,heat treatment specs, magnification)
VIII.Testing (technique or device)
The above two sections can be merged together under one section called Experimental Procedures
IX.   Results (sketches, graphs, data, etc....)
X.    Discussion
XI.   Conclusion & Recommendations (if any)
XII.  References
XIII. Appendices (if any, attach graphs, sections from references, standards, etc.. (large reports))

- Make sure to obtain a notebook to take good lab notes, and pleasedonot take the lab notes and results on the caravan!!
- No late reports except with an excuse from the OSA or Dr. Hanadisince the correct results will be posted online.
- Special attention will be paid for plagiarism, including cheating( Academic HonestyPolicy).
- Adequate and neat hand or computer (Photoshop) drawings are requiredfor microstructures, or you can use digital camera.
