Purpose

buggy_refraction_picker.py

Part 3

Two-layer refraction analysis script with a planted subtle bug. Runs without error but produces wrong values for V₂, intercept time, and depth. Find the bug with your AI assistant.

three_claims.md

Part 5

Three geophysics claims about refraction and earthquake location. Exactly one is wrong, in a subtle way. Find the wrong claim and prove it wrong with a primary-source citation.

sample_methods_paragraph.md

Part 6

An intentionally weak Methods paragraph from a hypothetical undergraduate report. Used to test your Methods Reviewer agent.

methods_reviewer_v0_template.md

Part 6

Skeleton system prompt for a rubric-driven Methods Reviewer agent. You fill in the bracketed criteria based on your judgment about what good methods writing looks like.

session_card_template.md

All parts

Template for documenting each AI session. Copy once per session into ai_logs/lab7_session_NN.md.

error_log_template.md

Part 5 onward

Running log of AI mistakes you catch. Copy once as ai_logs/error_log.md and add entries across this lab and the rest of the course.

How to use the templates#

  1. Create your own private GitHub repo named ess314-<yournetid> (see the pre-lab Step 2 instructions in the lab notebook). Add mdenolle and your TA as collaborators.

  2. Inside that repo, create two new directories: ai_logs/ and agent_instructions/.

  3. Copy the templates from this folder (in the course repo) into your repo, renaming them as instructed in each template file’s header.

  4. Commit and push at the end of the lab session, then paste the repo URL into your Canvas submission.

⚠️ Do not add your AI logs to the public ESS 314 course repository. Use your own private repo.
