Order Description
Each student will prepare an individual report (750 -1000 words). Your report must be prepared
individually, written in your own words and be properly referenced. We expect you will use a
number of references in preparation of the report. You are welcome to use the references given
in the notes but are expected to add at least two more references to support your report.
References to Web sites are generally NOT accepted.
Students are encouraged to include diagrams to explain concepts covered and to be concise.
Your report needs to include a discussion and explanation not just a list of facts.
