are uni students legally allowed to pre-read prac materials and do some research on it. would highlighting experimental procedures using highlighters and writing notes next to some unfamiliar terms be considered as cheating?

lol I think if they make the prac manual available to you, then you can do all the research you want

[monokekie]

so if i were to lable some organism with very uncommon terms, would the marker be slightly offended?

[Cthulhu]

Lol what. Most lab tutors want you to pre-read anyway and I dont know about melbourne but at monash they don't check your manual they check your log book.

i see. silly me, haha.

thanks guys, you cleared things up,

This stuff is your pre-lab homework. So it's not illegal to do this.

Or you can even write up part of the report at home and bring it to labs and fill in results
