CSC270 Tips and Good Examples for writing a lab report

First, a great introduction paragraph from R.B.:
- I. Introduction
- The lab was broken up into five experiments introducing the class to the kit. A full description of each of the five experiments is found on the class wiki (http://cs.smith.edu/dftwiki/index.php/CSC270_Lab_1).
- We had already been introduced to the kit, so we completed only experiments four and five.
Experiment four proved five axioms of Boolean algebra (associativity, commutativity, absorption, distributivity and complements). Experiment five was to build a circuit implementing the function f(a,b,c) = Σ(1,2,3,5,7).
- We had already been introduced to the kit, so we completed only experiments four and five.
And here is a PDF from Tiffany. Tiffany mentions in her email that the software "[she] used to draw [her] circuit diagrams is called Circuit Maker, Student Edition (which is a free version). It can be found here: http://babbage.cs.qc.edu/courses/cs343/Circuit_Maker/. The site also contains some tips on how to use the program. The one downside to Circuit Maker, Student Edition is that it appears to only be supported by Windows machines."
You do not have to go to that level of sophistication to get an A on a report. Nicely drawn circuits by hand, added on the printout or scanned are totally acceptable and fine.
