Lab Report Requirement and Assessment Critieria
Each group shall prepare and submit a laboratory report with the following
contents:
(a) A cover page (a template is attached)
(b) An index showing the sections, subsections and page numbers
(c) Experimental setup and procedures
A brief description of the experimental setup and test procedures
with annotated photos/diagrams
(d) Data and analysis
The test data, graphs and calculations in the Worksheets
properly completed and indexed.
Additional calculations, graphs, charts, diagrams, etc. where
necessary, to analyze the data.
Annotated photos/diagrams, where necessary, showing the test
results or observations.
(e) Discussion
(f) Conclusion and Recommendations
2 Marking Scheme
Your performance will be assessed with the following marking scheme:
(a) Quality of the experimental record (20%)
The experimental setup is clearly illustrated with annotated
diagrams/photos with comprehensive descriptions.
Any deviations in the setup and procedures from that specified in the
Instructions are properly recorded.
All required data are properly taken and recorded using appropriate
units and accuracy, and are presented clearly and neatly.
Observations, if any, are clearly described and, where appropriate,
with the aides of annotated diagrams/photos with salient results
highlighted.
(b) Data analysis (30%)
The experimental data are appropriately analyzed and presented in
appropriate manners, e.g. tables, charts, graph, ratios, etc., to
facilitate interpretation or comparison.
Appropriate theories are adopted and properly presented.
The working of the calculations, procedures in evaluation and
methodology of analysis are presented logically and in
comprehensible manner.
(c) Discussion, conclusion and recommendation (30%)
The results and/or observations are appropriately interpreted and
evaluated.
Relevant theories are applied to discuss the validity or implications
of the results and/or observations.
The experimental setup and procedures are reviewed with proposal
for improvements.
Conclusion and recommendations are drawn from the discussion
and presented in a precise and concise manner.
(d) Report presentation (20%)
The report is presented in good English, and properly organized and
structured.
All the tables, graphs, charts, diagrams, photos, etc. are properly
