Material that'll help improve write-ups for lab experiments?

AI Thread Summary
Improving lab report writing skills is a common challenge for undergraduate physics students, particularly in data analysis and error calculation. Many students struggle with interpreting graphs, including logarithmic ones, and extracting meaningful insights from experimental data. Resources such as textbooks, online courses, and video lectures can provide foundational knowledge and practical guidance. One recommended resource is a specific Wiley textbook that effectively covers the basics of lab report writing and data analysis. Building these skills is essential for academic success in physics.

I feel as though my ability to properly write up lab books when I do/after I do experiments is really weak. I struggle to analyse the data in a meaningful way. I don't know how to/when to calculate errors properly. I'm near useless when it comes to logarithmic graphs, or inferring any important information from the shape of other types of graph. The list goes on. I was wondering if there was a book/course/video lectures etc. that could walk me through this process and help build me up from the basics.

I'm a 2nd year undergraduate physics student from the UK, FYI. I'm behind most people I know because I didn't do any physics in high school.
