Why do parts of PostLab repeat the other stages of LabWrite?
Some sections of the PostLab may seem redundant with PreLab and InLab. This is because if you have completed the PreLab and/or the InLab, you will have working drafts of some sections of your report. For example, if you have completed the PreLab, you’ll find that the Introduction section of your lab report is basically finished with the exception of some revisions. When using PostLab for writing your Introduction, make sure that you choose the version for people who have completed the PreLab. Likewise, if you have completed the InLab, you’ll find that you have completed much of the Methods and most of the Results sections of your lab report. Of course, you’ll have to make various changes, but you’ll have what you need for these sections. This redundancy is built into the PostLab on purpose. Each stage of LabWrite builds on the previous one. If you haven’t completed the other stages of LabWrite, you should not find redundancy in the PostLab.
