sed from the available literature (secondary research). You may also be asked to undertake field work as part of your coursework assignment (primary research). Here it would be appropriate to summarise briefly the research methods used, such as face-to-face interviews, self-completion questionnaires, and give details of the size of your research sample.
Body of report or essay
A report should be clearly sectionalised, with the use of appropriate headings and subheadings. An essay should also follow a logical sequence, but usually without headings and subheadings.
As mentioned by Robb (1997), in a report, you should number the headings and subheadings with decimal numerical form. For example, if your main theme is 3.0, and there are four main sub-themes, these would be numbered 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4. If there were two themes for 3.2, these would be numbered 3.2.1 and 3.2.2. Try to limit decimal places to four because beyond this it can get too complicated for the reader to follow. If you have a list of five reasons for the point 3.2.2. these can be indicated as i) ii) iii) iv) v) or you can use bullet points but if the text is more than just a list it is preferable to use the decimal numbering to another level.
Throughout the main body of your work you should be aiming to develop arguments based on evidence which build up to your conclusions (Cameron 1997). One way to check this is to see if you can summarise each section in these terms. If you are not able 无忧论文 【http://www.uklunwen.com】to do so, it may be that you have included evidence that does not contribute to your argument or it may be that part of your argument is not substantiated by the evidence.
Conclusions
The conclusions should draw together the arguments developed in the main body of the work so that the implications can be spelled out (Cameron 1997). Remember to restate your aim at the start of your conclusions. The conclusions should not incorporate any new material but should summarise the key arguments discussed in the main body. If you find it difficult to distinguish between conclusions and recommendations, it may be helpful to think of conclusions as being more to do with logic while the recommendations deal with the implementation of these conclusions (Cameron 1997).
Recommendations
If your assignment asks for recommendations, use a separate paragraph for each recommendation. Try to avoid weak suggestions such as “line managers should communicate more....”. Keep your recommendations specific and practical to implement. Your recommendations should be clearly prioritised and the priorities justified. For example, the recommendations may be presented under headings of ‘immediate’ or ‘long term’, ‘strategic’ or ‘operational’. Ensure that all recommendations are included here, even if you have referred to them earlier in the body of the work. Also, no recommendation may be made that has not already been fully substantiated in the main body. Again no new ideas or material should a |
