LABORATORY NOTEBOOK
GUIDELINES ·
Each section has a clear, descriptive heading of the experiments which
were performed and detailed writing of the experimental observations,
thoughts, and results. · Each entry is dated. · Each entry is
legible. · Each entry is in English. · Each entry is written
immediately after the work was performed. · Multiple lab notebooks
should be labeled numerically in the order of which they were
written. · Experimental data, originals or copies (e.g. micrographs),
should pasted or taped into lab notebooks. If copies are made, originals
should be organized in a separate binder on which the lab notebook number
and page are denoted. · On collaborations, clearly indicate who did
what work and who was present for which experiments. · At the end of a
research project, all lab notebooks will be returned and archived in the
group for use by as reference for future students.
VACTION POLICIES · 2 weeks of continuous paid vacation are allowed per calendar year including weekends as stipulated by MIT policies (http://web.mit.edu/policies/8/8.3.html#sub2). Vacation time must be approved in advance by the supervisor.
