Hey everyone,
Sorry that these labs are taking longer than expected to grade, but we're most of the way through, so here's a few notes from the first set of grading:
1) The purpose of the memo is not to evaluate the quality of the lab but to speak clearly about what work was done. Think of if you were working somewhere and your boss came up to you at the end of the week and asks "Why should I pay you this week? What was done?" Remember to talk about all the pieces of the sticky note, that is our rubric. Also remember to change the to/from headers and be professional: do NOT speak in the first person, and do NOT use casual tone.
2) Read ALL directions, especially the yellow sticky note. Rounding and formatting points add up very quickly.
3) Please ask questions when you have them. Many people mentioned not understanding concepts, but I didn't get any emails to that effect. The other side of that is being prepared for lab. Even just going through the lab, reading the directions, and looking up words you don't know before you arrive on Friday can be really helpful.
4) As Prof. Mitchell mentioned in class, your name and date should be in the spaces provided on EVERY tab. Additionally, it helps us out a lot if you put your last name in the title of the document when you upload it.
Also: tomorrow is Drexel Research Day! Check out http://www.drexelresearchday.com/ for more info. Its a great way to explore the field you've chosen or look for a new one!
Happy Wednesday!
