Bibliography (not in" rel="nofollow">included in" rel="nofollow">in word count) TOTAL : 7000 words (+/- 10% tolerance) STRUCTURE: 1. Title Page: at least 18 poin" rel="nofollow">ints font size; centre text on page Title of the Study Report 2. Abstract: 200-300 words, summarisin" rel="nofollow">ing the research report. It in" rel="nofollow">includes a brief statement of the research objectives, the scope of the study, research methodology/methods utilized, the theoretical framework applied in" rel="nofollow">in the analysis and research fin" rel="nofollow">indin" rel="nofollow">ings. 3. Table of Contents It is possible to divide the report in" rel="nofollow">into sections and sub-headin" rel="nofollow">ings to provide the reader with markers along the way. Use the main" rel="nofollow">in headin" rel="nofollow">ings to structure a Table of Contents. Include a List of Acronyms, a List of Tables and/or a List of Figures if needed. 4. Chapter 1: Introduction The Introduction provides an overview of both your research and of your report. The overview of the research would often in" rel="nofollow">include some description of your motivation for conductin" rel="nofollow">ing the research, a clear statement of the research aims and objectives, the rational and significance of the study, the scope and limitations of the study, and key defin" rel="nofollow">initions and concepts that will guide the study. The overview of the report, on the other hand, will provide the basic structure of the report. This will in" rel="nofollow">include an explanation of the logic used in" rel="nofollow">in structurin" rel="nofollow">ing the flow of the report and the main" rel="nofollow">in report headin" rel="nofollow">ings. 5. Chapter 2: Methodology Ideally, students will have reflected critically upon their methodological approach and will have recorded their experiences collectin" rel="nofollow">ing data, elaboratin" rel="nofollow">ing upon strategies devised to overcome hin" rel="nofollow">indrances or take advantage of unexpected twists and turns in" rel="nofollow">in the course of their research. Such matters are appropriate for discussion in" rel="nofollow">in the Methodology section of the report. This is in" rel="nofollow">in addition to a discussion of the rationale for the selected research methodology. The most often observed weakness in" rel="nofollow">in this section has been when students write a very extensive explanation of the limitations of the methods (time, resources, access to in" rel="nofollow">interviewees, etc.) that they forget to justify why the methods they ended up usin" rel="nofollow">ing could still provide valuable in" rel="nofollow">information to address the research aims and objectives. It is about fin" rel="nofollow">indin" rel="nofollow">ing a balance between identifyin" rel="nofollow">ing the methodological limitations of you study, and also notin" rel="nofollow">ing the possible strengths of the methods you employed. 6. Chapter 3: Literature Review 7. Data analysis When draftin" rel="nofollow">ing the key part of your report, keep in" rel="nofollow">in min" rel="nofollow">ind that the rules regardin" rel="nofollow">ing structure, argument, analysis, and REFERENCING that you learned while writin" rel="nofollow">ing undergraduate essays. It is acceptable to break this part of the report in" rel="nofollow">into sections and sub-sections, but make sure they are connected in" rel="nofollow">into a coherent whole. You will decide how to divide and present the main" rel="nofollow">in body of your report. Your sub-sections may be structured around your key themes; or case studies; or they may follow a chronology (e.g. if your topic is historical). However you structure your data analysis, always keep in" rel="nofollow">in min" rel="nofollow">ind your stated research aims and your central research question (which may need some fin" rel="nofollow">ine-tunin" rel="nofollow">ing after you have actually gathered the data). 8. Conclusion A summary of what you wanted to do (aims), how you did it (methods), and what you found out (data analysis) is one way to begin" rel="nofollow">in your conclusion. Draw together your key themes and fin" rel="nofollow">indin" rel="nofollow">ings and suggest areas that may need further research. Remember that there MUST be a clear and contin" rel="nofollow">inuin" rel="nofollow">ing argument throughout your report, culmin" rel="nofollow">inatin" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">in a formal conclusion. You may in" rel="nofollow">include recommendations for policy development. 9. Bibliography Identify all sources cited in" rel="nofollow">in the text.
