The recommended word limit is 3,000 words, 10% grace is usually permitted so absolute maximum 3,300 words in total for both reports (or 1650 for each topic) including ALL parts of the work, i.e BUT excluding references and footnotes. Please make sure that you combine the two reports together and you submit them as a single report. You MUST include a word count at the back of your essay. The word count must cover all parts of the report (excluding references). Basic requirements: 1. The format should be 1.5 lines, with an extra line between paragraphs and headings 2.

You should allow for appropriate margins. Normal Margins (2.5cm) must be used (top, bottom, left, right) 6. You should use footnotes rather than endnotes 7. Any tables or graphs should be included at appropriate points in the text, not at the end Reports must be written in good style with a good structure of well written linked paragraphs. Avoid writing reports in note form or in very short paragraphs. Paragraphs hardly ever consist of one sentence. A series of short paragraphs gives an impression of fragmented ideas with little structure. For reports written as part of the assignment for a course, you may want to use section headings in our essay. This is not essential, but it indicates a clearer structure to the markers and forces you to think about the logical structure of your essay. Make sure in all of this that you are addressing the essay question. Bibliography and citation You should ensure you present references correctly.
