Get feedback on my lab report before I submit it
Section-by-section feedback on your lab report's structure, data presentation, and reasoning so you can fix it yourself.
The prompt
Review my lab report and give me feedback so I can improve it myself.
Course and level: [e.g. "AP Biology", "General Chemistry II lab"]
Lab instructions and required format: [PASTE, including required sections and citation style]
My lab report draft: [PASTE, including tables or a description of graphs]
Grading rubric, if available: [PASTE]
Check each section:
- Title and abstract: does the abstract state purpose, method, key result, and conclusion briefly?
- Introduction: background, purpose, and a testable hypothesis.
- Methods: could someone repeat it? Past tense, no step-by-step list unless required.
- Results: data in labeled tables and graphs (titles, axes, units, significant figures), with text describing trends but not interpreting them yet.
- Discussion: does it interpret results, compare them with the hypothesis and expected values, calculate percent error if relevant, and name specific sources of error (not just "human error")?
- Conclusion and references.
Return:
1. A table: Section | What's working | What's missing or unclear | How to fix it.
2. The 3 most important fixes.
3. Any claims that go beyond what my data shows.
Rules: do not change my data or calculations; if a number looks wrong, point it out and ask me to recheck. Do not write sections for me; explain what each needs.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the Chain-of-Thought structure (Chain-of-thought prompting). A chain-of-thought prompt asks the model to work through a problem step by step before giving its answer, which tends to help on reasoning, planning and multi-part questions.
