Electronic Lab Notebook

Because of the nature of the assignment this week, you need only complete the following sections of the electronic notebook:

1. The purpose: what is the purpose of this assignment?
2. 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 or Dr. Fitzpatrick (for example, via office hours), the TA, 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 (such as the methods of a protocol) also acknowledge it here and include a 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.
3. The References section. In this section, you need to provide properly formatted citations to any content that was not entirely of your own devising.
   • In the case of the definitions, you will provide a citation for each definition (see below).
   • For the outline itself, state at the beginning that is is an outline of the ter Schure (1995) paper and provide the complete reference in your References section.
   • Do not include citations/references to sources that you did not use.
   • You should include a reference to this week's assignment page.
