ATTENDANCE:
Compulsory except absence with UMSs medical certificate. Students should always adhere by the lab rules include
proper attire, cleanliness, and safety regulations. Penalty marks will be imposed for those breaking the rules.
Lab Report Preparation Guideline:

Each report should contain:

1. Cover page should include the title of experiment, name of the group, name of the students, matrix number
of the students and signature of the students.

2. Abstract should briefly explain the objective, introduction, methodology, result and conclusion of the report.

3. Introduction detailed discussion about the theory of the experiment.

4. Subsequently, the items listed below should be included in the body of the report: the objective of the
experiment, included apparatus, and a brief description of the test procedure.

5. Results the data sheet(s) which noted during the experiment should be checked and signed by the lecturer
should be attached along and the results have to be typed in the report as printed version, sample calculation(s),
and the required graph

6. Discussion discuss the obtained results including the source of errors and the accuracy of the test procedure.
May include the applications and importance of the test.

7. Conclusion Conclusion of the experiment.

8. Reference and Appendices documents which used to prepare the report should be listed out

Before the lab is started, students should prepare abstract, introduction and procedure of the experiment. A brief
description about the experiments will be given to the student through the lab manual. Students should start prepare
the lab report before the experiment is started. This will assist the students to fully understand the experiment and
make sure the experiment can be done smoothly.

During the lab is conducted, the students should run the experiment according the lab manual and instruction of
the lab technician. The reading of the experiments should be noted paper clearly. After the experiment is done, the
results should be checked and approved by the lecturer.

After the lab is conducted, the results should be discussed and concluded in the lab report. The lab report should
be done by all the group members and submit in a printed version during the next lab.

Presentation

After the lab report have been prepared, all the lab report of the experiments has to be presented.

These reports are presented according to topics.

Each group has 15 minutes for presenting the results, discussion and conclusion of the 8 experiments. Hence, the
presenter should be direct to the point. The time management for the presentation will be evaluated.

After the presentation, question will be given to the students to test the understanding of the students. Anyone of the
group might be chosen, so all of the group members should prepare and fully understand the lab report. Marks will be
deducted if the student fail to answer to the question.

Format of the lab report:

Students should prepare the lab report according to Gaya UMS.
