Contextual Report
The report needs to be between 3000-4000 words in length and should demonstrate the research conducted concerning your chosen area of study and present a coherent argument that shows current thinking and practices. You are required to upload this by the 21st December 2012 to the Contextual Report upload area on the Student Intranet.
You may use the tutorial uploads you have been doing over the course of the term as material for your report. Above all though write this as a piece of independent work. Use the information below as a guide to suitable content and layout. Apart from a few report writing rules, write the content as it suits your study and your approach to present a coherent, individual piece of work. Do not simply go through answering the questions given to guide you as if filling in an exam paper! This is your work, your ideas; show us that you own it.
Guidance on layout
The report should be written with font size 11, Times New Roman, with single spaced lines (you can use the final report template on the UG project website) and should contain the following:
Title Page

On page 1 you should have an Abstract and on page 2 you should have Acknowledgements.
