Report Guidelines

Writing a Report


Report writing is the main graded portion of 4BL. A detailed rubric of how reports are graded is given below.  For more specific questions please contact your TA.  Additionally, an example report from a previous quarter is linked here for your reference. While this is a outstanding report, there are still some small issues with it, so refer to the rubric when writing your report.
  • Report Rubric
  • Sample Report

If you would like to go the extra step to make your report look more professional, here is a link to a template that resembles a journal article. This template is written in LaTeX, which is the documentation method used in professional physics review letters. There is also a Google Doc template.  Both are acceptable (MS Word or equivalent is ok too).  Reports can be single-spaced.
  • LaTeX Template
  • Googe Doc Template

Lastly, after each group report, you can evaluate how your team members are distributing the workgroup of each unit and report writing.
