Write a fully referenced research project report based upon the proposal

Task
Write a fully referenced research project report based upon the proposal you submitted for
Assignment 1 earlier in the module, incorporating that work as part of the first three chapters of this
report.
The research project report represents 75% of the module mark. Before preparing your report, it is
assumed you will have read fully the project guidance notes and associated directed reading and
have completed appropriate primary and secondary research.
Your research project report is expected to:
• provide a clear indication of the purpose and importance of your research and how you
conducted your investigation;
• involve analysis as well as a description, demonstrating your ability to construct, explain
and justify your own perspective on the issues;
• organise and present facts and data clearly, and offer coherent arguments built from
them;
• relate facts and data to theory and practice discussed in the course;
• summarise concisely all the main points you discuss, offering any insights,
recommendations or conclusions;
• recognise gaps and deficiencies in the research, indicating where further work is
required;
• be written in a professional style, making appropriate use of English, with correct
grammar, spelling, paragraphing and referencing;
• submitted in accordance with the ‘Additional guidance for Assignment 2’ set out below.
Your report should include the following items:
• Title page
• Abstract
• Declaration
• Table of contents
• List of tables, figures and other materials
• Acknowledgements
• Main body of text
• Word count (see: Word count and overwriting)
• References and bibliography
• Appendices.
In addition to your submission, you must submit one separate copy of your abstract by email to
projects@ucem.ac.uk.
