  4. Lab Report Format • Title page identifying the laboratory session, date, and your name • General Summary Report from Output Viewer option • Main section that reports the important results and: • answers specific questions related to the lab • provides summary tables that contain important information from the simulation models • provides key graphs • presents any calculations needed in order to complete the lab • A list of attached program listings, output reports, additional graphs, drawings, etc.  Each of these attachments will have a heading with figure or table number. • The attached material that is listed in 3 above. • On a CD-RW, save your versions of the models you have built.
