The progress of science is dependent upon communication, for scientific knowledge can increase only if the work of individuals is shared. It is, therefore, important that new information or new interpretations be transmitted to others in the field. It is obvious that the manner in which this information is transmitted is important. A published paper or report is a common method of communication. To be effective, communication, written or other, must be clear for both sender and receiver.
Clarity is a cardinal virtue in communication.
Many things contribute to the clarity of a paper including format, style, grammar and usage, and completeness. The term paper must be written in the best possible technical and grammatical English. The first page of the term paper should include the paper title, your name, course number and name of the instructor for which the report was submitted. Place a full page of text and figures on each page. All text must be double-spaced.
