Final 10 marks is for FORMAT
ie. Clear use of Standard English
(set grammar and spell-checking to English-UK, but this is
no substitute for proof-reading)
Use title page from Moodle website
Report Writing
Final 10 marks is for FORMAT
Clear page layout with page numbers

Other problems to look out for:
Use of SI units, or accepted multiples
Not checking imported text
(eg. a recent quoted MSDS sheet included advice that
supervisors should call 911 if chemical was ingested by
worker)
Report Writing
Other problems to look out for:
Referencing should be along lines given by university http
://uws.ac.uk/about-uws/services-for-students/library/guides-and
-online-help/
Peer-reviewed references are mandatory
If website, ensure that it has authority, show full URL and
date accessed

Use of high quality images
Clear, but will it work
with black and white
printing?
