FINAL REPORT
Submit a MS Word file (*.doc/*.docx) plus a PDF
file.
The written report should be 1000 words (100 words leniency in each direction), include at
least 5 references (in-text referencing plus bibliography).
There should be an introduction, followed by your arguments, a short discussion and
conclusion with proper references.
The report should be approached in a ‘scientific’ way. That is, the purpose of the work
should be made clear by providing
1. the research question (normally near the end of the introduction).
2. finding(s) in the body of the essay, and
3. discussion plus conclusion
*A discussion is where you answer the question “what do these findings mean?” and point
out new questions and perspectives that your paper did not touch on. You may also include
viewpoints of other scholars on these issues. A conclusion is a summary of your paper,
where you summarize how your findings come together and include any final words.
