RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Place your results and discussion here. This is the most important part of the report.

Summarize your results in the introductory sentence.

Relate your results to your

objective. Present the results in the easiest way for your reader to understand: graphs,

tables, figures, etc. Spreadsheets are often an ideal tool for organizing the data, analyzing

the data, and generating graphs and tables. All tables and figures should be accompanied

by comments or discussions in the text of report; use a numbering system for

identification of each one. All figures and tables must have numbers and captions.

While the table captions should be placed over the table, figure captions should be placed

below the figure.

Explain the results of the experiment, comment on the results you obtained, compare

obtained results with expected results, give probable reasons for discrepancies from the

correct results, answer any questions outlined in the instructions and solve any problems

that may have been presented. Tell why things happened, not only that they did happen.

Implementation errors should be discussed here.
