How not to write a lab report

[Reaper]

Check this out, I found it hilarious:

reminds me of all my physics labs... I thought it was really cool and unusual that my Ohm's law experiment actually worked last week.

I hope whoever wrote that got an A.

 

Sincerely.

This is too funny. I feel that way for most of my labs. Haha.

since the Aim of ANY Lab report is to be Honest, I would give him a high mark for that, although I would take some off for lack of relevance.

Same here. We had the worst equipment ever. Nothing ever worked like it should. The physics department got all new equipment for undergraduate labs the year after I left

[Psycho]

My equipments works pretty good, but then again that is biochemistry stuff.

 

Awesome lab report though.

It looks like he followed up on his conclusions:

From the lab report:

Conclusion

Going into physics was the biggest mistake of my life. I should've declared CS. I still wouldn't have any women, but at least I'd be rolling in cash.

my experiment on reverse osmosis yesterday worked out quite well. our labs just got a £6.5 million revamp. there's NEW equipment! and it WORKS!

 

still using an old pentium pro computer to record results though. this thing doesn't even have USB ports or a CD tray. how we get the results off it is to unplug it lug it up three flights of stairs to the nearest ethernet port as it strangely has a shiny new 100Mbit ethernet card. theres just no network access in the lower labs. the floppy drive is similarly busted not that it would help.

 

but yeah, i got a straight line for the calibration graph! w00t w00t! nothing failed!!!

...what ever happened to plotting by hand :l That's what I had to do.

[Mr Skeptic]

I thought it was a great report, though I would have to take points off for not including the relevant equations etc to show that he knew what he was doing.
