Based on the image above which of the following is NOT a proper practice for keeping an engineering notebook

• erasing your mistakes

• numbering the pages

• crossing out blank areas of the notebook

• placing your signature at the bottom

Answer explanation

Removing information from notebook removes the integrity of the research.  Crossing out with single line keeps all the information legible and adding initials helps to verify that you made the change.  Mistakes are important part of the process and should be kept.
