Electronic Lab Notebook

Because of the nature of the assignment this week, you will have four sections of the electronic notebook:

1. The purpose: what is the purpose of this assignment?
2. Answers to the questions posed in the assignment.
3. The Acknowledgments section.
   • You must acknowledge your homework partner or team members with whom you worked, giving details of the nature of the collaboration. You should include when and how you met and what content you worked on together. An appropriate statement could be (but is not limited to) the following:
     • I worked with my homework partner (give name and link name to their user page) in class. We met face-to-face one time outside of class. We texted/e-mailed/chatted online three times. We worked on the <details> portion of the assignment together.
   • Acknowledge anyone else you worked with who was not your assigned partner. This could be Dr. Dahlquist, other students in the class, or even other students or faculty outside of the class.
   • If you copied wiki syntax or a particular style from another wiki page, acknowledge that here. Provide the user name of the original page, if possible, and provide a link to the page from which you copied the syntax or style.
   • If you need to reference content, include the formal citation in your References section (see below).
   • You must also include this statement:
     • "Except for what is noted above, this individual journal entry was completed by me and not copied from another source."
   • Sign your Acknowledgments section with your wiki signature.
4. The References section. In this section, you need to provide properly formatted citations to any content that was not entirely of your own devising.
   • Do not include citations/references to sources that you did not use.
   • You should include a reference to this week's assignment page.
   • The references should be formatted according to the APA guidelines.
   • For more detailed guidelines, please see the document Guidelines for Literature Citations in a Scientific Paper that you were given on the first day of class.
