Lab
===

1.  Download and read the CogTool materials.  This time does not count towards the lab, but you are free to document the time.
    
2.  Spend 4 hours (each) working with the tool.  You can work together or serialise your work.  Document how you use your time.  

3.  For your lab report, 
     *  Describe CogTool in your own words in 1-3 paragraphs
     *  Describe what you did in 1-3 paragraphs so that I know how to replicate your work
     *  Describe lessons for CogTool in 3-5 paragraphs
     *  Describe lessons for your project in 1-3 paragraphs
     *  Include references as appropriate (and some are appropriate)


Overall, this might be about 4-8 pages.  Over 10 and you are doing too much work.
