Worksheet submission template

For your pre-lab and in-lab submissions you set up a word document that includes your name and the name of your measurement-group members, see this example submission template. Put each item of a measurement in a separate paragraph "Measurement 1.1", "Measurement 1.2", ... "Measurement X.Y" so that it can be easily found in the document and graded. Similarly, for the pre-lab use a document with your name and answer every question in a new paragraph "Pre-lab 1", "Pre-lab 2", etc.

Your preparation

Your need to thoroughly prepare for the lab by reading and understanding the measurement and analysis procedures on the worksheet! Collect any questions you have and ask your instructor at the beginning of the class or during office hours.
