Practice Lab Notebook (ELN 0)
Instructions
- Lab notebooks are completed digitally using the Crowdmark platform. You will submit your lab notebook before the end of the lab time.
- The amount of work expected for these lab notebooks is reflective of the time available! Labs run for 3 hours – we have therefore designed the lab activities and the lab notebook prompts in such a way that they will be able to be completed within the 3 hour window of provided time.
- It is strongly advised that you read the lab outline BEFORE the lab starts to ensure you will be prepared to manage your time effectively and complete all protocols during the lab.
- This lab notebook will be completed as INDIVIDUALS
- This Intro Skills lab notebook (and completion of the lab) is NOT ASSESSED. This is to give you the opportunity to practice skills you will use throughout the semester and to familiarize yourself with the Crowdmark platform for lab notebook submission this semester.
