Instructions for Lab Reports

When you click on the chart link, you will download a copy of the lab report chart for the appropriate assignment. It will open as a 'read-only' document which you should Save As a document with the format M#lastname.doc (for example M2Smith.doc). After completing the chart and answering the questions, please submit the file as an attachment in the drop box. Files are preferred in the .doc format, as .rtf may not hold formatting, and .pdf makes it difficult to embed comments.
