This laboratory booklet is designed to

(1) Provide guidance on the weekly sessions, including the concept and general procedures.

(2) To help you keep all your notes and calculations together during your surveys.

This booklet is not meant to be your assignment report. As explained in the coursework brief, the final assignment should be completed as a technical report. The brief will provide guidance on what expected with regards to the tables, graphs and analysis that is required.

Group Work

The workshop sessions will be conducted in groups, and within each group, you will work in pairs. You MUST wear face mask all times while inside. It is also important to keep the place tidy and to clean the experimental tools after finishing each survey.

As part of this experience, treat your peers with respect and equality.

Although the surveys will be conducted in groups with shared results, the interpretation, conclusions and write up will be carried out individually. All materials from other sources must be correctly referenced.
