All research workers find that at times their work does not go well, or that the results are not as abundant as they would have hoped at the planning stage of the experiment. You will not be penalised if experiments have not worked for reasons beyond your control. Our external examiners have repeatedly complained about overlengthy projects, which are consequently likely to be at a disadvantage in the examination process. The report should be double-spaced, on one side only and should be paginated throughout. It is unlikely that more than 30 figures could ever be required.
Students are responsible for printing the micrographs and photographs which they use.
Figures and short tables should be interleaved within the main body of the text. Complex tables of results might be better included as Appendices. Use statistical analysis where necessary. If necessary ask your supervisor to arrange help from the Department of Statistics. You should discuss your results and how to present them in general before compiling your report.
