Title Page 1 Page

Table of Contents 1 Page

Introduction  ]

(Main Body) ]   5 pages 

Summary     ]

References "1" Page

Appendices 2 to 3 Pages

Formatting:

 Contents Page:

 All Written reports will have a Table of Contents page.

Main Text Size:

 The majority of the text in this assignment needs to be set in 12-point size.

Please resist the temptation to mix and match point sizes. If you doubt your applications intentions, just select your text and insure that it is in 12-point size.

Text Spacing:

 For the body of your written report, set it for double spacing.

Page Margins:

Set your pages to one-inch margins. One-inch margins mean one (1”) on all sides.

The only text that ends up on the outside of the one-inch margin is the page number.

Spelling/Grammar Checking:

Remember to do your spelling and grammar checking before turning your assignments in.

When doing the spelling/grammar checking keep in mind that some words such as mush and must, woods and words, or here and cow, will not be caught by either check. To correct these problems, you will need to proofread your work.
