The structure of the report should be as follows:

A] Brief review of the key points of the case, with the review connected to the key points you are going to draw from the literature (around 500 words)

B] Detailed analysis of the case, illustrated with evidence drawn from the literature (around 2000 words). This ideally should be an integrated, well organised review of the articles/book chapters you have selected that address the case. In preparing this, ask yourself questions such as:

•does the paper contain evidence that is relevant to the case?

•does the paper help us to analyse the case and develop solutions to the problems that occurred?

C] Conclusion and recommendations (around 500 words)

A few other important points:

Use headings and sub-headings as appropriate. Your report must include in-text referencing and a correctly cited list of all references used in the report and ordered alphabetically by surname of first author, in accordance with the Harvard style of referencing (THIS IS IMPORTANT) as referred to in the Faculty Guide for students.
