Instruction
• Report format and structure - expected to use headings.
• The overall word count should be 1,000 (+/- 10% of the stipulated words) inclusive of appendices, words in diagrams, tables and figures. This will be strictly applied.
• Where you quote directly or take ideas from something you have read you must reference these correctly using the Harvard referencing system, not numbered footnotes.
• Assignments should be word-processed and Times New Roman 12 point type.
• You are strongly advised not to use extensive appendices. The word limit includes these and you will need the words to actually answer the questions rather than supply background information.
• Diagrams are permitted, although the extensive use of graphics can sometimes reduce the impact of your work rather than enhance it and they must add value. Only use diagrams if necessary, keep them simple (avoid lots of color for example) and remember to reference them. Simple reproduction of established diagrams does not add value and will be penalized.
