1.      Firstly, the word count excludes the table of contents, the executive summary, tables, charts, figures, references and appendices. Tables, charts, figures, references and appendices must be used with care, must be appropriate and must be referred to within the main body of the report. In particular, tables, charts, figures and appendices must NOT be to circumvent the word count. The correct word count must appear on the front sheet of the report.

3.      Note: Thirdly, include all relevant SPSS output as appendices and reference them clearly in the main body of the report. You should create your own tables (using the Word table tool) for the main body, extracting only the pertinent information from the SPSS output. I would strongly advise you NOT to just copy/paste SPSS output directly into the main body of your report. Additionally, make sure you copy/paste SPSS output as an (JPEG) image into your appendices.

4.   Fourthly, use third person reporting and formal language (not txt words/phrases, not colloquial terms, no inappropriate/rude or offensive words). A structure for your Individual Final Report (beyond cover/front sheets) is below:  Executive summary; Table of contents; Introduction/Background; The research problem [covering formal statement of the research problem, aim(s), objectives and research questions (if specified)] Methodology [research approach, data collection method, and data analyses undertaken – all linked to your research objectives/questions] Results and (interpreted) Findings; Recommendations, Limitations and also Conclusions References/Bibliography; Appendices.
