FOLLOW THE REPORT WRITING GUIDELINES:

Report Guidelines for Literature paper

2.2.7.1 General Format

I expect professional reports that are well written and organized. USE THIS DOCUMENT AS A GUIDELINE FOR WHAT I EXPECT. Any mathematical details should only be represented using the Microsoft Equation tool or Mathtype Add-in for MS Office. I require all references be cited using either the APA format (6th Edition) or the IEEE format. I expect there to be a table of contents.

2.2.7.2 Fonts

The report should be formatted with a line spacing of 2 lines (double spacing) using ‘Times New Roman’, ‘Calibri’, or ‘Cambria’ font.

2.2.7.3 Title Page

The title page of the report should contain the name of the project (as in mini-case 1, mini-case 2, or Literature paper), the individual’s name, and the due date of the project.

2.2.7.4 Header and Footer

The header and footer should be formatted in a manner similar to the syllabus such that relevant information about the project, group or individual and page numbers are presented. The top left of the header should contain class and project information as shown. The top right of the header should contain your name devoid of any honorifics. The bottom center of the footer should contain the page number.
