\textbf{Please compare your description of Johnson Noise and Shot Noise below in your Aims and Introduction Sections  with the short description I  provided you in the getting started instructions for this lab (reprinted below): } \begin{quote}  By measuring Johnson noise --- the fluctuating voltage that arises due to the random walk motion of electrons in a resistor (even when current isn't flowing through it) ---- as a function of temperature and frequency ``bandwidth'', we can determine Boltzmann's constant $k_B$, the fundamental constant connecting temperature $T$ to energy $k_B T$.
