APA Referencing
1. Topic
Following Assessment 1 - Part A, you will have finalised your topic for your report. It is important that you stay within the topic and identify a scope for your investigation so that you don't go off track and have a clear objective.
2. Aim of your Report
Just like a science experiment, your report will have an aim or objective. What is the goal you are hoping to achieve upon completion your report? What is the purpose of the report? Having an aim will ensure you have something to refer to as you are writing your report and this will keep you on track. When you are questioning whether to include something in your report, you can refer to your aim and decide whether the information is relevant to what you are hoping to achieve.
3. Report Writing Guide
Read the Report Writing Guide in the Assessment Summary Section on Moodie. This will help you structure your report and understand what to include.
4. Marking Rubric
Read the marking rubric! This includes the weightings and will be a guide of how your assessment will be marked.
5. Report Plan
As mentioned in the tips for Part B, writing up a report plan should be one of your first steps when writing a report. In your report plan, you should layout the structure of your report and include summary points, views, inferences under each section as a guide to what you will plan to discuss. This will help you guide your research. You can also include a timeline in your report plan for your own personal time management. The report plan does not need to be submitted and is for your benefit.
6. Research
Your research is a key aspect of your report, but your references should not be leading the discussion and we don't want you to write everything you can find about the topic. One of the key traps that many students find themselves in is that they include references in their report that is not linked or irrelevant to the topic or the objective of the investigation. Remember that the referenced content should be used to support your own views and ideas. Do not let the references or content from other sources drive the discussion, let your findings strengthen your discussion. Do not include a referenced quote just because it sounds like a good punch line to start the paragraph.
Journals and texts are the most credible and recommended sources to use for your research and you will need 8 high quality references. However, do not be afraid to explore outside of these if you feel there is some benefit and credibility to your research. Think about exploring documentaries, TED talks, interviews from exaerts in the industry. If you are using sources more than 5 years old, you must justify this in your discussion. Consider whether any newer research has been conducted on a similar topic and if not, why? Make recommendations and discuss the impact on your investigation.
You should be using the APA method for your referencing. Please refer to the LRC for the referencing guide
7. Think 360 Degrees
Remember to consider all viewpoints in your discussion. A recommendation may present a positive outcome for employees, but does it present a positive outcome for the business, the government or the customers? Discuss this. In your report, do not be afraid to discuss how you came up with an idea. but later found it to be not feasible following the research. This could eventually link to an alternative idea that may be feasible. From a reader's point of view, this will demonstrate your ability to form a 360 degree viewpoint and will lead to a higher mark.
8. Discussion
In your discussion. you will be focusing on your investigation and addressing the points from the assignment brief in the Subject Delivery Schedule. Do not submit a general discussion on a topic write everything you find about that topic. The idea of a report is for you to conduct an investigation on a specific area.
