| + | * The 7-Zip file compression software has been installed on the computers in Seaver 120. (If you want to install this software on your own computer, go to the [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-zip Download page].) To compress a single file or a group of files, do the following: | ||

| + | *# Right-click on your selection. In the context menu that appears, select the menu option: 7-Zip > Add to archive | ||
| + | *# Make sure there is a meaningful filename in the field under the word "Archive:". If not, change it to something that is. Typically you will want to include your name or initials, a short descriptor of what the file contains, and the date in year-month-day format (yyyy-mm-dd). | ||
| + | *# Select "zip" as the Archive format. | ||
| + | *# You do not need to change any of the other defaults. Click OK. The zip file will appear in the same folder as the files you compressed. | ||
| + | * To decompress files with 7-zip, right click on the file icon. From the context menu that appears, select 7-zip > Extract Here. | ||
| + | ** Note that Windows Explorer will allow you to view the contents of a zipped archive without actually decompressing them. It may even seem like you can open them or otherwise manipulate them. However, issues will arise from doing this, most commonly, not being able to save your changes. Always make sure that you decompress (unzip) the files before using them. | ||

Electronic Lab Notebook
Complete your electronic notebook on your individual journal page. Your notebook entry should contain:
- The purpose: what was the purpose of your investigations?
- Your methods: what did you actually do? Give a step by step account for Tasks 1-4 listed above.
- There should be enough detail provided so that you or another person could re-do it based solely on your notebook.
- You may copy protocol instructions on your page and modify them as to what you actually did, as long as you provide appropriate attribution.
- Take advantage of the electronic nature of the notebook by providing screenshots, links to web pages, links to data, etc.
- Your results: the answers to the questions below, plus any other results you gathered.
- Usually it makes sense to embed your answers to the questions/results in the "methods" in the order in which you obtained them.
- A scientific conclusion: what was your main finding for today's project? Did you fulfill the purpose? Why or why not?
Access SQL: basic concepts, vocabulary, and syntax
For your electronic lab notebook this week, do the following:
- Upload your zipped Microsoft Access FDA database to the wiki and link to it on your individual journal page.
- Write up the methods you used to create the database, load the tables, and write your first query.
We will work with this database for a future assignment in the class. -->
