Lab Reports -- Getting High Marks?

Recommended Posts

It seems that whatever I do, I still can't get higher than a 4 out of 6 in the lab reports, whether only DCP is evaluated, or CE is evaluated, or both. I follow the guide sometimes by the letter, sometimes do not follow it. I try to write out long reports. I write out reports that are short. I include in depth evaluations and think of errors that could potentially affect the experiment. I also remove errors which are present but I do not believe affect the lab in a significant way.

But it seems that I can never get higher than a 4. It seems like my teacher is marking me for not using specified terminology, etc. Seems like my marks are being deducted from 6 points instead of adding up. So I start with 6, and one wrong thing and I lose one mark.

Does anyone have any tips?

Thanks

My whole class was doing really badly on lab reports, so our teacher gave us a few documents on suggestions and guidelines. I have never attached anything before so I hope it works! :D

Good Luck
