+Comments regarding lab reports preparation

+
+While we grade your first lab reports, we want to give you some notes in
+general about we expect for the second round of reports:
+
++ Bring a hard copy of your report to class. STAPLE!
+
++ Abstracts should be short and concise, and contain: a sentence or two
+summarizing the lab, and a sentence or two describing the results you
+obtained. Save background information and why you did the experiment for
+the Introduction.
+
++ Make sure your report is readable - most of the reports so far looked
+good.  Make sure that your sections have a space in between them, that your
+section titles are not separated from the sections, your tables are intact,
+and equations are clear.
+
+If you use Word find a way to make your equations readable. If anyone needs
+help with LaTeX please let us know - there is a bit of a learning curve
+since it is a very different method of preparing documents than more
+familiar word processors, but once you understand the method it is actually
+easier for scientific papers.
+
++ Keep the report to a reasonable # of pages.  There is no hard limit, and
+do make sure you don't leave important information out, but do not print
+out pages and pages of tables of data and calculations. Provide a summary
+of important data and equations.
+A very important skill is being able to explain your experiments and
+results fully and clearly while being as concise as possible - this is an
+important goal of this course.
+
+
+
+If anything about writing the reports is unclear please ask us.
