IMPORTANT NOTES ON STRUCTURE **
There have been a number of questions regarding the report structure for this assessment . The aim of this assignment is to research your case study and analyse your findings so you will be writing a ‘research report’. It may look a lot like the structured essays you have written to date. Here is a possible outline for your report which allows you to incorporate your research (which is 25% of your mark), demonstrate your critical thinking and understanding of the case, and most importantly analyse the evidence. You will not be successful in the assessment if you only describe a couple of articles.
