What is the best way of writing a lab report? (university level)?

Question

My professor wants it to be more than 30 pages long!
I had done experiments in pharmaceutics.

asking for tips...

Answer 1

Lab reports are typically divided into four parts:

Objective
Procedure
Results (Data)
Conclusions

Objective is pretty short typically, you explain what you're trying to accomplish.

Procedure can be very detailed or not, depending on the complexity of the experiment. You want to include enough detail here that another person would be able to recreate your experiement from following this section.

Data includes any results, observations, measurements that you obtained from your experiment.

Conclusions is pretty self explanatory - what can you conclude from your experiment results?

The beef of the report should be in procedures and results (data). At the same time, I should be able to read your objective and conclusion sections and be able to roughly sum up your report.

Good luck.

Answer 2

shouldnt you have covered this already? by the time you have got to the point of writing 30 page reports, you must have done smaller ones. the format will be the same, just more information intensive.
