Deliverables

2,000 words report that addresses all of the above sections.

Format requirements: “Times New Roman” size 12 with 1.5 line spacing, 2000 words in total (not including references). You must include the total of words used in your report. The report should have appropriate headings and subheadings (including an introduction and conclusion). Once you have submitted your report, check the originality report in turn-it-in and ensure similarity with other sources is referenced. You can resubmit your report until the due date.

Please note that the originality report for a resubmission takes 24 hours to be produced. Please ensure that you allow adequate time, if you are considering resubmission.

Referencing

Wikipedia is not an acceptable reference source. You will be marked down severely if Wikipedia is included as a reference.

Reference sources should mainly be from peer reviewed academic journal articles through library databases. AIH encourages In-text citations using Harvard referencing.

The general rule of thumb is 1 reference source for every 100-150 words written, excluding the Introduction and Conclusion.
