DIRECTIONS TO THE STUDENT FOR 

 KEEPING NOTES IN BIOLOGY 



NOTEBOOKS are to be brought to every biology period. The 

 notebook, when completed, should contain a record of your 

 daily work, not only the exercises performed in the laboratory, 

 but all home experiments, field excursions, and any other work 

 that is your own original observation. The notebook should 

 not contain any copied drawings, dictation notes, or other 

 matter not original with you, unless you specify that such 

 work was copied. The authority from which such copied work 

 is taken should also be noted. 



Exercises written in the laboratory should be written on 

 the ruled paper provided; drawings should be placed on the 

 unruled paper. One side of the paper only may be used, 

 except in the case of home work written in ink, in which 

 event both sides of the paper may be used.

 ings made in the laboratory. 



Prepare your papers for notes, drawings, and experiments 

 according to the model forms given you in the pages following. 



Place your name, class number, the date, and the title of the 

 exercise in the spaces reserved for this purpose on each sheet 

 of paper used. Place also your name, the date, and the title 

 on every piece of home work handed in to the teacher for 

 correction. 



Number the notes, answers to questions, or any written para- 

 graphs to the left of the vertical line. Number the pages of 

 all your work, and keep dated work in the proper order before 

 handing it in to be criticised by the teacher. 



Especial care should be taken with your drawings. Your 

 hard pencil should be sharpened to a needle-like point. Many
