Advanced Technical Writing Lecture 7 Laboratory Report Mohammed Alhanjouri

Cover Page Course Title Experiment Number The Experiment Title By: (name of performer) The title and address of the performer The name of the supervisor Title and address of the supervisor Date: (month day, year)

Example Electric Circuit I Experiment number 1 Verification of Ohms’ Law By Ahmed Ali 120125439 Submitted to Mohammed Alhanjouri Professor of AI & DSP Islamic University, Gaza February 4, 2016

Title Reflect the factual content with less than ten words in a straightforward manner Use keywords that researchers and search engines on the Internet will recognize Avoid abbreviations, and initials.

The format of the report AIMRAD Abstract Introduction Methods Results Analysis Discussion +Conclusion

Abstract (informative) One short paragraph Aims Methods Results

Aims Concise but informative One or two sentences should be sufficient Example: To determine the relative molecular mass of an unknown dibasic acid

Methods and Results Explain in short the method or methods you used to get the results. Write down your results

Introduction A few paragraphs or a few pages. Includes: Background Theories, equations, and rules used in calculations Brief about the work (hypotheses) and expectations Remember to quote your sources (you should include a bibliography of your references after the conclusions section).

Method Concise but sufficient for someone to repeat the work. List materials used, how were they used. Describe special pieces of equipment.

Method - continue Use third person past tense Example: A solution of barium chloride (0.05 mg in 100 cm3) was prepared in water and titrated against silver nitrate. Avoid starting a sentence with a number Example: 0.05 mg of barium chloride was mixed with 100 cm3 water

Results Tabulate the numerical data when possible Make sure that you divide tables by measurements units such that you write only number inside the table

Results: Avoid Resistance Current Voltage 6.0 2.0 mA 12.0 (V) 5.9 kΩ 1.7 10.0 (V) 6.1 kΩ 1.3 7.9 (V)

Results: correct Resistance (kΩ) Current (mA) Voltage (V) 6.0 2.0 12.0 5.9 1.7 10.0 6.1 1.3 7.9

Results - continue Title all figures and tables; include a legend explaining symbols, abbreviations, or special methods Number figures and tables separately and refer to them in the text by their number, i.e. Figure 1 shows that the activity.... The activity decreases after five minutes (Figure 1)

Analysis Calculations and graphing Interpretation of results go into this section Remember to layout your calculations clearly, showing each step

Discussion How relevant are your results ? What errors are there ? Did something go wrong ? Try to be positive Write your ideas to improve the experiment

Conclusion Did you meet the aims of the experiment ? Example: The relative molecular mass of the unknown was determined to be 146.5. The conclusion should echo the Abstract and be as short as possible.

All references should be listed
