Do you want to know what a strong lab report looks like? If so, be sure to stop by the SSSC from 10:00am to 4:00pm during the week of Monday, September 16th to Thursday, September 19th to chat with an upper year science student and learn all you need to know about lab reports and assignments in various subjects. Find out what sort of things your professors and TA's are looking for in a lab report, exploring topics like:

  • The typical sections of a lab report
  • How to show calculations
  • Building tables and graphs
  • When to include images and figures
  • Proper use of significant figures
  • Language and phrasing to explain and summarize the results.
  • Difference between an informal and formal lab
  • Preparing for Lab Exams
  • and so much more!

All students are welcome to drop-in during the day to get some lab report help. Registration is not required.
