7 Laboratory Reports Chemistry is a laboratory science – Although most labs will be performed with a lab partner, each person is responsible for turning in his or her lab individual report. Usually, a lab quiz or test will be used to evaluate your understanding of the lab. Your lab report will be used for reference during the quiz or test and will make up a portion of the lab grade. Major Lab reports are an individual assignment. Lab reports which are identical between lab partners or other students will be viewed as cheating. Lab conduct is taken very seriously and students misbehaving or horse playing in lab are subject to both a zero for the lab and an office referral.
