Each instructor has a rubric for grading lab reports as taught in each specific course.

For example, in the Advanced Biology course with Mrs. Fowler, all of the experiments in the text are expected to be completed by the student at home. These are thoroughly discussed in class beforehand, so the student fully understands the assignments. A lab report is to be written for each experiment and kept in a notebook for general grading, and a minimum of one formal lab report per semester is submitted to her for item-by-item grading.
