Some Tips on the Writing of Lab Reports.
 

1. Please use the standard report format of (introduction-library research - hypotheses or purpose) Method (Participants,Apparatus,Materials & Procedure), Results, Discussion and References. Please use APA style in references (see http://webpub.alleg.edu/dept/psych/Writing.html#References) .
2. please -- note the section on Plagiarism and the Honor Code. Labs are to be prepared independently. Reference to newspapers, unreviewed pamphlets, "pop" magazines, unreviewed websites, encyclopedias or dictionaries will be penalized {see http://psych.hanover.edu/Krantz/journal.html or http://www.psych-central.com/ for lists of reviewed electronic journals}).**
3. Please document any problems you had with the lab and, in particular, please note the range of impedance levels of your electrodes.
4. Note that it is not sufficient to only show graphs from the computers. Each graph must be properly labeled as a figure (e.g. Fig 1) and all of the channels must be identified. When discussing a graph please refer to the Fig # and the channel # to discuss the record.
5. Please answer the specific questions for each lab after the discussion or as part of the discussion.
6. In the purpose section, please include a reference for similar work performed in this century or close to the turn of the century.
7. Please limit your reports to 1 page (250-300 words - excluding figures).
