structured around multiple components: • Weekly Lab Reports and Data Analysis (60%) – Each week, students complete assignments that reinforce their understanding of experimental techniques and data analysis methods. These reports require students to analyze datasets, identify trends, and provide technical analysis, ensuring they develop a strong foundation in interpreting experimental results. • Capstone Design Project (40%) – A major component of the course is the final project, where students apply the concepts learned throughout the semester to design and analyze an experiment. This project simulates real-world research challenges and often results in conference presentations or publications
