Complete Report Guidelines(adapted by Dr. Hecker from “Experiments & Communications”)

• 4 to 6-pages, single-spaced, 3rd person, team report• 3 to 5 figures or tables• Theory should be summarized, which may repeat material in

the proposal. • Purpose is to clearly show the logic used to arrive at the

conclusions• Questions to consider:

– Would it help if some form of the raw data was included?– How were the raw data obtained?– How were the raw data analyzed?

• Did you explain each step?

– Which equations were used to analyze the data?– How confident are we in the conclusions?

• Did I include enough statistics?
