Notebook componentsPre-lab (Must be completed before the start of the lab period)•Purpose of experiment•MateriaIs/Methods•Step-by-step procedure/m ethocis taken {sketch or flow chart)•Hypothesis and predictionsPost-lab (To be completed during/after experiment is carried out)•Data/Results•Analysis/lnterpretation•Future stepsA detailed explanation of what to includeineach section is included belowinthe Guidelinessection.Why do we do this? Recording procedures in your notebook in advance (including deviationsfrom published protocols), noting observations and data (including procedural mistakes or last-minute changes) as the procedure is performed {your memory is NOT reliable!). and analyzingresults immediately following the laboratory experiment is critical to ensuring documentation isof the highest quality, consistent, and trust-worthy.Formatting InstructionsTo quickly and easily organize your notebook, please use the Headings formatting options.Headings not only change the font characteristics of your text, they also can be used toorganize a document in the table of contentsIInstructionsEach experiment (as designated by a different protocol in the lab manual) should be entitledusing the "Heading 1" style.You can use ''Heading2"style for replicative trials within one experiment, or if there are relatedsub-experiments (e.g. Period 1 and Period 2; different host testing, etc).■insert'1a Page Break at the beginning of each new experiment so that the new entry starts ona new page.

PlagiarismMuchof your workwillbe doneonteams, andusingelectronic documents. While you areencouraged to discuss homework and experiments with your team and share raw data, youmustcomplete all written work individually,copying anyoneelse'swork is plagiarism and isunacceptable. Please do not share your written work with any other student, as you may alsobe found responsible for plagiarism. Thisincludes the lab notebook, captions on figures,answers to homework questions, lab proposals/reports, and all other work. The one exceptionis that you and your team may use the same hypotheses and research questions verbatim.Please speak to Dr. Ana Gracia Vedrenne if you have any questions about what constitutesplagiarism or need guidance on howto avoidit.and review the UCI Policy on Plagiarism.

Detailed Guidelines [This is where you would add experiment Title (e.g."Plating microbes'1)]Dates:•Include all dates that you worked on anything related to this experiment and avery brief mention of what you did on that date.Purpose of Experiment:•This must be done BEFORE coming to lab so that you know what you're doingand why.•Brief (one to three sentences) overview of the experiment. State what you aredoing, why, and how it connects to the big-picture goals of your research project'the class.Materials Needed:•Must be done BEFORE coming to lab.•Should be in a bulleted/numbered list format.•Wet lab experiments: List of materials (including concentrations, etc) needed foreach experiment.oYou can copy these from the protocol, but be sure to read the list carefully anafamiliarize yourself with it so that you know what you will neeo in lab.•Dry lab/ Bioinformatic experiments: Briefly list bioinformatics materials (files,software, websites, etc) needed for each experiment.Methods:•Must be done BEFORE coming to lab.•Outline the steps of the experiment here. Please do NOT transcribe the protocolverbatim. Instead, sketch out the steps and describe them using your own words.You may also create a flowchart if you prefer.•Include any changes or modifications that you are making to the protocol ifapplicable.oOnce you do the experiment, if you make a mistake, that's okay - just note themistake in the methods in another color of font.oFor example, if you or your partner adds too much of some reagent, yournotebook should indicate what the amount should have been, and what wasreally aoded, and whether that error may have affected the results.•Wet lab experiments: Don't forget temperatures of incubation, volumes ofreagents added, types of media, etc.•Dry lab/ Bioinformatic experiments: Describe the experimental procedure,including tools, programs, and files.•Someone should still be able to look at your methods section and repeat theexperiment based on what you have written (yes, even for bioinformatic
