i trying to figure out how to write a research paper on a pH lab and the teacher wasnt specific about what she wanted

What do most teachers look for when your writing a research paper on a lab for pH?
Science and math professors don't like details that don't belong. Don't write it like an English paper where you can elaborate more. Don't write anything that doesn't belong in the paper. In writing a lab, it should have enough details that someone could do exactly what you did. This includes even writing which company made the equipment you used unless it's strictly funnels, pipettes, beakers, etc. Make sure you cite other people's work if you used that. The best thing to do is email the professor or go to their office and talk to them. They should be willing to tell you what they're looking for.
Reply:Ask the professor what they are looking for. None of them are specific initally.
Reply:it depends on the teacher. so look for everythign to cover all teh basics of it.. put what ever you think will be sufficent.. unfortunately.. no one can really tell you what to write.. for its rare that any of these people would have had the same teacher..


so all i suggest is to write down everything that you think will be sufficient for it
Reply:For one thing, use proper spelling and proper verbage. Not to knock yours, but "when your" should be "when you're" (when you are). Next, don't be afraid to ask for specifics. Usually teachers hand out a rubric for research papers. (I did.) If the paper is due in stages (ex. notecards, rough draft, etc.), ask for a critique and/or suggestions for improvement. Good luck!
