Research Report Template

Introduction

State the motivation for the project in terms of current literature. This section can be largely copied from an earlier report(s), if they exist, but it is expected that this section is edited to include newly found background information. Note: if the author of previous reports is included as a contributor to the project, you may cut and paste text; this is not plagiarism.

Materials and Methods

This section describes experiments done during the period covered by the report. Usually, this work will be similar or identical to that described in the prior report, if they exists. Any new experiments will be written up and added to the experimental section.
