Abstract Student 2

What is the Lab about?

What was measured and how?

What were the measurements used for ? (to find what !)

What were the significant results/findings/trends observed ? (discuss from numbers calculated / plots shown in the results and discussion section)

Do the results/findings/trends observed behave as expected? If not, why? Comment on sources of error

Grammar and spellings are correct / whether the section use proper english !

Introduction Student 2

Effectively presents the objectives and purpose of the lab

Shows a figure showing the schematic of the experimental facility and explains what is shown in the figure

States in brief what measurements would be performed and why ?

States pointwise what facts/hypothesis(es) is being tested in this Lab

Grammar and spellings are correct / whether the section use proper english !

Methods Student 2

Discusses what measurements were taken - how/how many times/when/where/under what conditions !

Discusses instruments used to make measurements

Identifies measurement and instrument uncertainty, resolution, and/or accuracy

Results & Discussion Student 1

Presents the data in two sections: 'Raw data' first and then 'Calculations & Analysis'

Presents the raw data (tables, plots, etc.) first

References each table/plot from raw data and logically explains/analyzes the findings/results of each table/plot

Presents the calculated data (plots, tables, etc.) clearly and accurately

References each table/plot from calculated data and logically explains/analyzes the findings/results of each table/plot

Addresses all issues pertinent to Lab and also state about how measurement and instrument uncertainty can affect the final results/observations

Grammar and spellings are correct / whether the section use proper english !
