Chart:
- Profile - should be
a continuous line or curve
- Profile - do
not use Trendline (Layout Analysis tab); this feature is not intended for our
type of Labs. Use Chart types from Design Type tab.
- When you produce
datapoints for your chart please use and leave Excel formulas so we can see how
you obtained them
- Axis title and
labels should be on the same side if possible
Format:
- When preparing
a table for a chart please keep it formatted, e.g., borders, headings, column
names etc. Points will be deducted in the "Format and clear
organization of the entire document and its parts" line
- Equations as ∑ _(i=1)^n γ_i Z_i = γ_1 Z_1 + γ_2 Z_2 + γ_3 Z_3….+ γ_n Z_n are not in any accepted notations and are not
intelligible. Notations as σ(v) = Y(1)Z(1) +
Y(2)Z(2) +Y(3)Z(3) are slightly better
but still, have ambiguity, and may not be understood properly by a person
distant from this specific lab and lecture.
- Use named cells
Memo:
- Keep Memo language formal;
avoid words "like", "kind", "us engineers",
- Grammar - write Memo
in a text processor and Copy-Paste into Excel text box. Excel does not have the
spell check capability!
- If you decide to
report key equations in Memo please report factors used, e.g., F = ma, where F is force, m is mass and a is
acceleration
Units:
- When establishing a
new data column please indicate units
- When you apply
multiplication or division operator there's a good chance your units will
change!
Calculations:
- Don't round
intermediate results
-
-
General feedback:
- Please read the Lab
instructions and the lecture materials before the Lab, come prepared!
- Don't wait to submit
until 09:50 when many other students may overload the server and you may
not be able to submit successfully
- Charts have a random
place on a chart Quest
- When reporting units,
please avoid extraneous characters, e.g., (psf_)
