Course standards for reports

General

Any references used (Internet sites, books, periodicals, etc.) must be listed at the end of your report. Information taken from a specific source and direct quotes must be indicated and noted.

Word Processing

Texts created in a word processor should meet the following requirements:

• 12 point typeface and 14 cm margin
• If the document is to be sent as an attached document by e-mail or to a discussion group, it should be saved either as a Word-document (*.doc), in Rich Text Format (*.rtf) or as unformatted text (*.txt).
• 

Handwriting

The length of handwritten assignments must be twice the length of the assignment on a word processor. This means that an assignment that calls for at least one page of text in a word processor must be at least two pages long if handwritten.

Handwritten text should be written on ruled paper leaving a left margin of three centimeters for comments by your instructor.
