Guidance on Structure

? The word limit means that you will need to pay careful attention to the content of your report; be specific rather than generic.
? Research the subject area and develop the ability to paraphrase what has been written rather than ‘littering’ the report with direct quotes.
? Ensure that all sources of information are well referenced using the Harvard system of referencing.
? Ensure that your report has a conclusion that has been evidenced from the content of the report
