You should aim to include a minimum of 6 references (more is better), of which some should be peer-reviewed academic journals. However, this is a short assignment, with a real-world focus, so extensive referencing is not required.
Â
The following guidelines are to assist you with presentation and layout:
• Cover page should include name, student number, unit number, unit name, assessment number, assessment name, and date
• Use Arial, Calibri, or Tahoma, 12 pt font
• Double spacing
• Double justification of text
• Headers and footers on all pages other than the cover page – headers and footers should contain your name and student number, the unit number and name, and a page number
If you have any questions about the assignment, ask your lecturer, or email ian@ee.edu.au
