LABORATORY REQUIREMENTS

LABORATORY REQUIREMENTSI. Preliminary Report (To be submitted after performing the experiment) 50 % Expected contents of the preliminary report/group report:

Title Page

Preliminary Data Sheet

1. A tabulated form of the data gathered prepared 1 sheet per table (refer to the format of the tables from the individual data sheet).

2. Below each table, provide an analysis/interpretation of the data gathered in a particular part of the experiment which be done in bulleted form. 3. Show complete computations used in filling out the table. Answer to Guide and Questions

Graph/s (if any) with interpretation.Criteria for Grading: Data Sheet which includes correctness of the data 20 points

Interpretation of the Data Computations 10 points

10 points

Overall Presentation 10 points

II. INDIVIDUAL REPORT

=50 % Individual report must contain the following parts:A. Properly Accomplished Title Page

B. Properly Accomplished and Signed Data SheetC. Sample Computations

Show computation for at least 1 trial for every part of the experiment which includes the computation for average value, % of error or % of difference.D. Summary: Give a summary of the experiment which contains the following:

(First Paragraph) Briefly describe what was done in the lab but not step by step as in a procedure.

(Second Paragraph) Give basic scientific theory, principles or concepts used. You can include all the quantities that have been measured or determined as well as the equations used. (Third Paragraph) Explain how a theory / concept were put to use or how it was tested or applied in the lab. D. Conclusions

This part is a closing that describes the overall success of the experiment. (First Paragraph)

Discuss whether or not the objectives were achieved. (Refer to the Objectives section.)

(Second Paragraph)

Describe how your understanding of the theory has been improved after performing the experiment. Include in your discussion some practical applications of the concepts used in the experiment. (Third Paragraph) Select a particular situation from the one mentioned in the second paragraph and give insights how a particular theory or concept in the experiment was applied. Criteria for Grading:

NOTE: Use engineering lettering for the preliminary report and individual report. Use black ink (gel or technical pen) only. Total score for PR & IR will be reflected as the grade for laboratory report.POLICIES:( No performance, no report.

( Student/s who will arrive after the attendance has been checked will be marked absent and therefore attend a make-up class. You will be given a 30 minute grace period before checking the attendance but To become leader of a particular experiment, a student must come on time A student who will come after the 30 minute grace period will get 1pt/minute deduction but up to a maximum extension of 30 minutes only.

A student who will arrived after an hour will be marked absent and must attend a make-up class.

( For Make-Up Class: For those who were absent during the experiment, the student must attend a make-up class and prepare a final/individual report to be submitted during the class regular schedule. But will receive only 75% of the groups preliminary report grade.

( Strictly no special exam.

Aside from academic deficiency, other grounds for a failing grade are:

Any form of cheating during examinations

More than 20 % of the total number of meetings missed in a term

Failure to take the final examination with no valid excuse
