Thestructureoftheprojectisa2500-wordreport,the contents of which are detailed below. It is the report thatrequiressubmittingasthefinishedpieceofworkandthiswillbemarkedbasedon the rubric provided on page 5. Ad hoc work in whatever form will not be marked if submitted.
The word count is 2500 words. This is subject to plus or minus 10%. The word count does not include the title page, the table of contents, executive summary, the list of references or any appendices.However,please note that appendices should be used for supplementary information only: they will NOT be considered for marking.
The report content will comprise of the following sections:
Title page:this must contain the title of the report and your names,unit name,unit number and date of submission.
Table of contents(TOC):ideally,but not necessarily, constructed using the hyperlink functions in Word. Lists of figures and tables are not required.
Executive summary: an executive summary provides an overview of the ENTIRE report.It is NOT an introduction section. It is NOT a background section. The purpose of an executive summary is to provide an understanding of the document without having to read the complete report. Ideally, half to one page in length(but no longer),the executive summary will contain a summary sentence or two on each section of the report. Do not use headings or titles in the executive summary; it should be written in essay narrative format and read seamlessly.
Introduction:the introduction informs the reader of the aims and methods applied in the project.It also defines the scope of the project (what is included and what is not).
Background: a background informs that reader of the context to the project. It is easy to ‘go overboard’ with this section and consume much word count;one page is all that’s needed to set the scene for the project.
Methodology: This section highlights the methodologies applied to your given case. You need to clearly state a reason as to why they used that technique and provide supporting references especially if the technique is relevant for that industry.
Results: In this section, students will provide the results of their analyses. The results need to be provided in a logical sequence to ensure that the document is coherent and well synthesized.The results need to clearly show the application of the techniques covered in this unit and that the relevant assumptions in terms of the data have been given due considerations.
Key Findings:The findings of the analyses will be explained in this section.You are expected to be elaborate and to provide an in-depth explanation of the results and why they
support or don’t support the results of the analyses.You need to providethenecessaryreference to support any claims to ensure that the findings are supported by othersinthatfield. Recommendations: The recommendation highlights any key findings from theanalysesthatis informed by thefindings. Recommendation sections areusually conciseand provide practical advice on areas that needs to be addressed. Conclusions:Through logical reasoning, this section should summarize howtheprojectobjectives have been achieved using appropriate business analytics tools and techniques. List of references: this should be formatted in Harvard style.
It is also vital that your work is guided by the marking rubric.
