Requirements for the Final Report
Provide title, authors, and separate headings for each section below.
Introduction
The introduction is a summary of relevant background facts that led you to ask the question you did, the procedures you used, and any additional information relevant to the specific investigation being done.
At the end of the introduction, explain the significance of your investigation and state the hypothesis you were testing or the goal(s) your were trying to achieve.
Since your ideas and procedures are based on things you have read, include references to sources in your bibliography.
As a starting point, you may revise the introduction that you provided with your proposal. However, don't include information that you've found to be irrelevant to the way that your project developed. Do include new information that is relevant.
Methods
See this page for details. You should have a complete draft at this point with the exception of a diagram or diagrams of your set up and final editing for logical flow of the presentation and good English composition.
Analysis
Describe your methods of image and/or video analysis. Present one complete example analysis per person in your lab group. (All analyses must be in your lab journal.) Annotated photos are very useful for this purpose. You can use an image editing program to overlay text on images. For video, single frames can be extracted to be used as images. If you don't know how to do this, ask the instructor to help.
Discussion of Results
In this section, you tell what you found out in your research, how your results compare to what you expected based on what you presented in the introduction, and the extent to which your reached your goal(s). Discuss the extent to which you accomplished your goals and verified your hypothesis. You may also provide suggestions for additional experimentation or for new hypotheses that might be formulated based on your results.
Bibliography
Any reference cited in your paper must be included here in a numbered list with complete citation format. Do not include references that aren't cited in the body of your paper.
