REPEATING GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Discussion: This is the section where you draw conclusions and present your interpretation of the results. This may be a mix of present and past tense. In this section, you should briefly restate your results and then relate your results to other studies and findings. The discussion should also include consider alternative hypotheses and sources of error if your results do not support your hypothesis. The last paragraph should be a statement of your main conclusions and what experiment you would do in the future.
A good discussion
• Briefly restates the results within the context of the study
• States whether the data support the hypothesis
• If present, addresses unexpected or anomalous results with specific ideas (not speculation)
• Compares results to class data or primary literature and provides specific explanations for
similarities or differences (if applicable).
• Proposes future directions that are relevant (related to the data) and specific (briefly describes the experiment)
• Addresses the overall purpose of the report discussed in the introduction
References: You should have at least 3 peer reviewed journal articles that are cited in the
introduction and discussion of the lab report. Webpages, newspaper articles and magazine articles
do not count as peer reviewed journal articles. Any facts or ideas that you did not generate
yourself must be attributed to the source where you found them. All references cited MUST be
mentioned in the text.
• Citation format should be for the Journal of Applied Physiology
• References are relevant and strengthen the ideas and arguments made in the report
• References are listed, formatted and cited as directed by the lab manual or class website.
• All statements of fact or opinion (not already known by your audience) are supported with a
citation/reference
• Minimum 3 relevant primary research articles in discussion
• Paraphrases material from references (no quotes)
