How to structure the assignment report
Title Page
Assignment title, module code, full name and student code, as well as
submission date.

Executive Summary
This is not an introduction, but is a brief summary of the main points from your
analysis and conclusions to provide the reader with a summary of what has
been done.
Table of Contents
A list all the chapters, sections, headings and sub-headings. Appendices and
Figures should be provided as well as all page numbers as clearly as possible.
Introduction
This should show that you have fully understood the brief and that you are going
to cover everything required.
Findings and Analysis (main body)
• This is the substance of your report. The structure will vary depending on the
material being presented. Headings and sub-headings should be used to
indicate clearly the different sections.
• The following headings may help to add structure: situation; problem; solution;
evaluation. It is not sufficient simply to describe a situation. Analysis and a
critical approach are essential.
• Charts, diagrams and tables can be used to reinforce your arguments,
although it may be better to include the most complex ones as an appendix.
Conclusions
These draw out the implications of your findings. Deductions are based on the
facts described in the findings and analysis. Remember not to include any new
material here.
Recommendations
Indicate what you think should be done to improve or develop the situation in
specific ways. Highlight the steps for action.
