Lab Reports
- Lab Report Checklist (http://www.ugrad.physics.mcgill.ca/resources/339/checklist.pdf) - PDF document listing questions you should be able to answer yes to if you don't want to be penalized for technical issues. If you answer no to one of these questions, you need to have a really convincing answer to the follow up question "Why not?".
- Report Guidelines (http://www.ugrad.physics.mcgill.ca/resources/voyerc/guide339.pdf) - This not so crusty description of what is expected in the structure of the report. Written by DHR, deviate at own risk. -=* NEW *=-

Stephen and Christian have supplied a few general comments on the lab reports you may find useful. They include mostly issues that come up quite often and that can not only be easily avoided, but will not go unnoticed.
