Topics -
Instruction:
Your report should be structured as follows:
Introduction -
1. This states the purpose and structure of the paper, and identifies the main theme or proposition(s) that you are trying to prove. It tells the reader what to expect.
Body -
1. In the body of the paper you are trying to build a logical argument that supports the main theme or proposition. The body needs to be consistent with what you have said you are going to do in the introduction.
2. Each paragraph should have a topic sentence, and the points you are making should reflect that topic sentence.
3. Use theory and examples to explain your argument.
Remember that you are trying to present a logical, cohesive and clear analysis of the key issues that you have identified, and to use these to support your proposition or theme in a systematic way.
5. You only have 2000 words therefore you will need to be succinct and persuasive in presenting your argument.
Conclusion and recommendations -
1. A conclusion is not just a list of the key points you have made. You need to draw together your key points to demonstrate that you have supported your theme or proven your proposition(s).
2. The conclusion needs to be consistent with both the introduction and the body of the report.
