A case study report is required to be submitted by each student as one of the assessment items for this unit. The report will be assessed and marked out of 10%. The format of the report is that of an engineering/scientific report. All aspects of your report must be your own original work. You must acknowledge any assistance that you received, and must provide appropriate referencing for any copyright information that you include in your report.

References - Reference all material that you use from other sources. Use the correct referencing method defined by the University (or Kirkup). Overall Organization and Presentation - Use a word processor – this makes editing and rewriting easy and efficient – it also allows you to submit the report electronically. This also allows you to pass copies of the report between group members so that everyone can contribute to the editing. Your report must be submitted individually as a Microsoft Word formatted file or a PDF file (preferred). Length: The length of your report should have a maximum of twenty A4 pages, single spaced, including figures (diagrams and graphs). Do not make it too long – use appendices if needed. Page Size and Margins: Page size should be A4, with margins of 1 inch (2.5 cm) all round. Font: Font size should be 12 font either Times Roman, Arial, Courier or similar – that is, readable.

Page Numbers: Already at the bottom of the page of the template file. Section Headings: Be consistent in the labelling of sections, whether you use section numbers and a heading or just a section heading. Where appropriate, use footnoting within the text. Spell correctly, and use correct grammatical structure. Neutral (third) or second person (“we”) – neutral is preferred. Do not use dot points – write proper sentences (dot points are OK in laboratory notebook, but not in reports). Paragraphs: There are two conventions for defining a paragraph: (1) Begin paragraphs on the left margin and have a blank line between paragraphs, or (2) indent the first line of a paragraph (0.25 to 0.5 cm) with no blank lines between paragraphs (or a half line between paragraphs). Be consistent in the method you choose.
