Written labs are required for three of the labs. These written labs request information in a numbered format, to facilitate and organize the required materials and will follow a standard format. Make sure you include an introduction with the purpose and context for the lab and a discussion of what the lab was intended to illustrate. Be neat!
Summaries are required for three of the labs. These are two paged write-ups that summarize: Purpose of the lab, importance of the topic, and highlights from the fieldtrip, handouts and readings. I will provide questions to address on the write-ups to guide your answers.
