o Introduction
Include an updated version of the research plan chosen. Please update the research plan based on feedback received for Assessment One. This section will NOT count in the 3600word limit. However, this section is needed so that the research report is a comprehensive standalone document. The research plan and the new content together should form a comprehensive research report. You can retain other headings that you had in your research plan in this section as sub-headings. Move all your research plan content from the ‘Introduction’ section to ‘Research Aim” section, EXCEPT the reference list and the appendices. Reference list and the appendices should be incorporated to the reference list and the appendices of Project Report.
Clearly mark the section where new content begins by adding the following line: New contents from here
o Table of contents: A table of contents including page numbers, list of figures and tables (if relevant).
o Executive summary (approximately 750 words)
o Methods and analyses (approximately 750 words)
Provide information about your sample, how data were collected, details of data analyses, justification for these method/s.
Describe your recruitment material and data collection tools (e.g. interview or focus group questions, surveys) and provide samples of these material as appendices.
o Findings (approximately 1250 words)
This is the same as results. Describe your findings in detail; you are encouraged to use tables, graphs and other tools that will assist you to present your data in a succinct and user friendly manner.
If you use, figures, graphs and tables, ensure that they are numbered and there is a heading for each figure, graph or table.
Structure this section using headings based on your findings. Describe each finding preferably starting with the most important.
o Recommendations and limitations (approximately 750 words)
This section should include any recommendations you can make based on your findings and discuss these by integrating them to the material presented in the literature review.
This section should also include limitations of the project.
o References
Your research report should be accompanied by a full reference list (not part of the word limit).
A minimum of 5 additional academic references that were not cited in the research project plan as part of Assessment One are expected in this assessment (with a total of at least 15 references). Incorporate references from Assessment One and Two here to develop a single reference list in alphabetical order. Mark the additional references by highlighting them in a different font colour.
o Appendices
Include any additional material which is not essential to the report but will enhance the readers’ understanding.
Incorporate any appendices from Assessment One here.
