APPENDIX B - LOGBOOKS

Requirement

The use of logbooks is along similar lines to those adopted for the First-year
Project and generally in accordance with normal practice in industry. The logbook
should be created digitally, whether that is a word document or clear photographs of
a handwritten log. It should be written up in real time, i.e., as things happen. It should
certainly be legible, but not necessarily very neat.

What to include in the logbook?


1. All entries should be dated.
2. It should contain complete details of all your work and results and main points of
meetings and actions relating to the project.
3. It should be possible to see what tasks you have been engaged on, for how long
and what problems you have encountered.
4. The detail of description should be such that another member of the group could
carry on with your work, if necessary, without serious loss of information.
5. Even apparently incorrect results or comments should not be removed or deleted,
since they may turn out to be important, although comments and further correct
material can be added.
6. The contents should not be limited to purely technical matters. Addresses,
telephone numbers and the results of enquiries to suppliers are all worth-while
entries.
7. All supervised and unsupervised meetings should be briefly noted (an item-by-
item record of each point made would be useful). Items of work related to you as
an individual should be described in detail. Action items for you must be stated
with expected completion dates.
8. At the end of the spring term, you need to submit your logbook for assessment.
As the last entry of your logbook prior to submission, you must include a short
progress report with an updated version of your project Gantt chart showing the
progress you (as an individual member of the group) made since the start of the
project. Explanations for any achievements and/or deficiencies should be given. If
you do not submit your logbook, then zero mark will be awarded for it.

Assessment
The supervisor will check your logbooks at the weekly meetings. The individual
mark for your logbook will be awarded based on the following mark guidelines at
the end of each term by the supervisor. The following table is used for logbook
checking.
