Re: Diagrams in the lab

I've solved around 18-20 labs so far from workbooks, but I never created any
diagrams, just used what's provided with the workbook. Sometimes that makes
me wonder, am I doing something wrong by not making diagrams?

Although I finish the tasks properly and with expected results.

Any advise on this?

Thanks,
Rahul
