For anyone who has ever had to do a lab report.

Sounds like a lot of reports I’ve had to do. Unfortunately, exams always scare me in to doing the assignment.

Questions;

  1. What is the error associated with your temperature measurement?
  2. What is the error associated with your resistance measurement?
  3. Did you do any repeat experiments? If so where are the error bars on your data?
  4. Did you consult with your professor, TA, Lab assistant about the crap data you were getting? What was their input?
  5. What are the temp ranges where the resistivity is expected to be exponentially related to temperature? I do see local regions in your plot where you might have an exponential relationship at work.

I’m stuck here writing Paper 1 of 2. My advisor’s insisting that I have Paper 1 to her and my collaborators by tomorrow morning. Paper 2 has a deadline of next Friday. My computer’s acting up - its throwing me error messages claiming that it can’t allocate memory. Anyone with any experience of scientific software running on a Linux machine care to help?
