[LON-CAPA-users] Lab writeup submission

[John Merrill]

Hi Mark:
We (Biology at MSU) are very interested in lab writeups at the moment. 
However, we are leaning heavily toward paper lab notebooks. We want to 
be "reality based", if possible: "put your lab results in a lab notebook 
just like biologists do in research labs or industrial labs". I agree 
that a contemporaneous lab notebook could be something quite different 
from a "lab report". In fact, the latter should actually be written from 
the info in the notebook. And we are also trying to address numbers: can 
we have one of two or one of four partners turn in each week for 
grading? Anxious to hear how you handle all of this.
