Notebook
Document the dates you worked on your project. This should be a detailed account of the work done each day for your project.
What should this page have?
- Chronological notes of what your team is doing.
- Brief descriptions of daily important events.
- Pictures of your progress.
- Mention who participated in what task.
Inspiration
You can see what others teams have done to organize their notes:
Perfusion System with Bioreactor Design
23 May 2017WO
