be a concise (max. 200 word) statement that includes the main findings and the principal conclusions of the project;

Table of Contentsshould give the relevant page numbers and be set out so as to give a good guide to the structure and contents of the report.
Introduction (approx. 2,500 – 3,000 words)should:
clearly state the aims of the project and the general context in which the investigation is undertaken in terms of the relevant published material
provide references to previous research of a general nature (these will be discussed more fully in the discussion where they are of direct relevance to the project)
Materials & Methods (approx. 1,000 words)should:
contain any of the following: area of fieldwork, details of apparatus and methods, description of materials, software etc. (see supervisor for precise advice)
give sufficient information for the reader to follow, and if necessary, repeat any procedures

(if necessary) refer to preliminary experiments and to consequent changes in techniques
Results (approx. 1,000 – 2,000 words)should:

References: students must use the Harvard system, listing references in alphabetical order. Journal titles should be presented in full or abbreviated to conform with British Standard BS4148. You should consult the Anglia Ruskin Library ‘Harvard System of Referencing Guide’ which can be found at:http://libweb.anglia.ac.uk/referencing/harvard.htm.
Other General Points:
Tables, figures, graphs, maps, photographs, line drawings, photographs, etc. should be numbered, titled and may be presented on separate pages. Artwork may require a protective transparent cover.
All images other than tables are referred to as figures. Standard conventions in terms of table titles above and figure titles below, with each numbered sequentially and independently, apply (see tutorial VLE for more information)
Numerical values should be stated in scientific notation, while appropriate SI units and symbols should be used throughout the project.
Students who do not type their own report must edit the final typed script. This is important since it is unlikely that the typist will be a specialist in the subject areas
