ABSTRACT
Obviously,.the.requirements.and.styles.of.employers.differ.from.each.other.and. from.those.of.scientific.journals,.just.as.the.requirements.of.scientific.journals.differ,. and.hence.it.is.impossible.to.provide.guidance.on.what.is.needed.by.each..However. there. are. general. issues. that. have. to. be. addressed,. and. these. have. been. incorporated.into.a.set.of.requirements.for.laboratory.reports..In.some.cases,.the.work.may. not.warrant.a.lengthy.report,.especially.where.a.deep.theoretical.issue.is.not.being. examined;.some.employers.actually.prefer.a.shorter,.more.succinct.style..For. this. reason.three.report.styles.are.presented..Accompanying.the.short.report-style.document.is.a.sheet.for.comments.that.can.be.ringed.where.appropriate.to.indicate.particular.shortcomings..Students,.especially.in.the.early.stages.of.such.studies,.often. have.only.a.hazy.idea.of.what.is.expected.of.them..To.clarify.this.aspect,.marking. schemes.with.questions.and.pointers.are.discussed.as.well..To.ensure.that.correct. scientific.notation.is.used,.and.correct.formatting.of.the.document,.additional.detail. is.provided.on.report.presentation.
