Chapter 70: Problem 1

Write a formal 'Experimental' section. Adopting the style of a research paper (i.e. past tense, all relevant detail reported such that a competent colleague could repeat your work), write out the Experimental for a practical you have recently carried out. Ask a colleague or tutor to comment on what you have written.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The exercise has been completed through identifying the experimental procedure, writing the 'Experimental' section in the style of a research paper, reviewing and refining the section and finally seeking feedback on the work from a colleague or tutor.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the Experimental Procedure

Refer back to the practical performed and note down every step followed and all details regarding materials used, observations made, results obtained, and methods used.
02

Writing the 'Experimental' section

Begin writing the 'Experimental' section in a research paper style. This involves writing in the past tense, detailing every step of the process. Include all materials and methods used, any observations, and all results. Describe the process in such a way that anyone reading would be able to replicate your work.
03

Reviewing and Refining

Review the draft and refine it for clarity, accuracy, and completeness. Ensure it is written in the past tense and is detailed enough for someone else to repeat the experiment. This phase might involve doing several drafts before being satisfied with the final outcome.
04

Feedback

After finalizing the 'Experimental' section, share it with a colleague or tutor for feedback. They should comment on whether the section is clear, accurate, and detailed enough to enable them to carry out the experiment based on the instructions provided.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Write an abstract for a paper. Pair up with a colleague. Each of you should independently choose a different research paper in a current journal. Copy the paper, but mask over the abstract section, having first counted the words used. Swap papers. Now, working to the same number of words as in the original, read the paper and provide an abstract of its contents. Then compare this with the real abstract. Compare your abstracts.
