2 Formatting of the report. The following rules apply: • Please use 12 point, Time New Roman or Arial font, 2.54cm margins and at least 1.5 line spacing. Ensure appendices are referenced within text and clearly labelled at the end of the report and that appropriate referencing standards have been used (please see below for further guidance on referencing). Please also ensure figures and tables are clearly labelled and referred to in the text. Small characters (such as subscripts and superscripts) should be at least 7pt. • The presentation of your report must be of acceptable quality (see Marking Descriptors below). • The cover sheet must be included with your report, which should also show the number of words in the business report (to the nearest thousand). 5 Suggested checklist for the report There are some key questions you should ask yourself about the structure, style and content of your business report. These are: • Have I clearly, and briefly, stated the objectives of the business report on the first page of the first chapter (Introduction) of the business report? • Have I provided the reader with a reader map (i.e. a brief description of what each chapter of the business report covers) in the first chapter? • Have I tackled the topic covered by the title? Have I left out important themes and material? Have I included material that is not relevant? • Have I structured my business report so that the material is coherently organised and builds an argument in a logical way? • Have I shown the ability to collect data of sufficient size and quality to produce useful analyses? 8 • Have I given references whenever appropriate? Are there points at which I have failed to deal with the question “How do we know that?”? (Another common failing of Master’s business reports is uncritical use of assertions in newspaper articles or in websites that have no obvious standing or authority). • Do my citations and my list of references conform to the standards given in these Guidelines? • Are my conclusions a good summary of the findings of my business report? Are they well supported by the evidence I have used and my discussion of that evidence? Do they relate to the objectives stated for the business report at the outset? • Have I checked spellings and grammar? Have I conveyed my ideas clearly in English? Is the presentation of the business report of good quality? • Does the title accurately reflect the contents of my business report? • Would someone attracted by the title of my business report find its contents and conclusions useful? • Is the abstract an accurate summary of the entire business report (a common failing is to use the abstract as a surrogate Introduction)? Have I ensured that the abstract does not contain any ideas that do not occur in the main text?
