• instructions are followed

• all records are legible (including tables, etc.)

• units are used appropriately (no dimensional impossibilities!)

• uncertainties are considered appropriately (even in recording a measurement or calculation result)

• lab manual instructions are improved upon for better procedures

• sample calculations are present and legible

• units are used appropriately (no dimensional impossibilities!)

• uncertainties are calculated correctly if appropriate

• physics is made clear; the point of the calculation is understood

• graphs are present when needed

• axes are labeled correctly, and with units

• graph titles do not simply repeat axes labels

• graphs are used to extract information (from slope, for instance) as appropriate

• graphs are discussed (e. g., to discuss trends and relationships)

• purpose of the lab is made clear in the conclusion

• conclusion is clear: objectives are met or not

• essential physical concepts are discussed in answers to questions

• results are discussed in relation to physical concepts

• limitations of the lab are identified; success is quantified (uncertainty!?!)

• sources of error are identified correctly
