ELEC 360
Control Theory and Systems: I - Lab Report Guidelines

Please preface your lab report with a proper title page.
Use the sample title page from page 0-6 in your lab manual.

The report should be divided into the following parts:
	Summary
	Introduction (Describe the objective of the lab) 
	Results (including data charts, graphs, etc)
	Discussion
	Conclusions
	Appendix (Answers to the preparation questions)

The following are some points you should consider while preparing your lab report: 


Technical Content
-       Are all required points covered?
-       Did you justify your conclusions and results?

Presentation
-       Is your write-up easy to follow, logical and complete?
-       Did you make an effort to write your report in precise and concise style?
-       Are the tables, graphs and charts clearly described and referenced 
          (titles, units, etc.)?

Appearance
-       Is the general appearance of your report pleasing to the reader?
          (ie. proper spelling, grammar, printed text)

Remember
-       A report is communication with other persons.  
          Keep in mind the reader's point of view when writing your report.
-       Adhere to the schedule for labs and submission of lab reports (see below)

Put the Reports in the designated box on the third floor of ELW near B356. Make sure that you put your report in the correct slot.
