Students and professionals alike often struggle to write clear and concise summaries of experimental results.
Teaching students a systematic approach to writing quantitative comparison (QC) statements gives them a
framework for writing about their results they can carry forward through their academic and professional careers.
The process of writing and evaluating QC statements is based on the 4Cs: Calculation, Context, Comparison, and
Clarity. In this workshop, participants will work through an exercise that introduces QC statements, has students
evaluate statements based on the 4Cs, and gives them the opportunity to write their own statements based on
an experiment they have previously completed.
Keywords: Results, Lab Reports, Student writing
