Structured Report

Task Journal Entry. The Journal function in Interact2 must be used. External journal sites are not permitted. If your country geo- blocks the Interact2 website or your circumstance prevents you from accessing the Internet (eg. due to a disability or if you are in a correctional centre), please contact your lecturer immediately. If it is an office/ organisation firewall preventing access, you must find an alternative Internet access point to complete this task. Warning: Entering or editing data in this journal entry after 2359 hours on 6 April will result in deduction of marks. You will now write your full report section by section. It is advised that you write in the Interact2 journal itself rather than a word processor. This is to prevent errors in formatting or missed out sections when copying and pasting. Please do not submit an attached document (eg. DOCX, DOC, PDF, etc) to the journal entry. Refer to the marking criteria below for each section. This report must be similar to the "preparation" done in Assignment 2. This is the fully written out report format.

Presentation After you "Create Journal Entry", please click "Post Entry" You are given full editing rights even after you post - even the ability to delete that Post. It will also enable the lecturer/marker to provide you assistance prior to the deadline. If you "Save Entry as Draft", only you can see it and in the past, many students forget to click on "Post Entry" which means you have not submitted your assignment at all when the deadline has passed.

ALERT: Some students prefer to cut-and-paste from a word processor, and depending on their settings, this may cause formatting problems later. Journal Presentation Formatting Requirements: 1. Journal space on Interact2 presentation text width between 85-95 characters including spaces. 2. Font types and sizes consistent (use Arial 12pt) throughout and paragraphs well formed. 3. Submit answers to all work in one journal entry. 4. No attachments to journal entry allowed. Other Presentation Requirements: 1. Avoid using dot points, bulleted points, numbered points in your work. Lists do not display your understanding of the subject matter and may even appear disjointed to the reader/marker. 2. Meet word limits in each question (allowance of +/- 5%). Table of contents are not required and the Reference list are not included in the word count. 3. Use either UK spelling or USA spelling but do not mix both. 4. All work presented should be carefully proofed, so that spelling and typographical errors are corrected. 5. No language used should be sexist. 6. If acronyms and jargon are used, please explain them in the first instance, then use the abbreviated form in the rest of the report. 7. Appendices are not to be used. 8. Use of headings and sub-headings can be used for clarity. 9. It is important to get the balance right between the citing of referenced material and your own interpretation and ideas. When using your own thoughts and ideas, you can signal the reader by using words and phrases such as 'it can be argued that...", "it is evident that..." and "it seems as though..." 10. Writing in the third person is expected in all pieces of work. 11. Do not submit multiple copies (or versions) of your work. If you do, the marker will only pick the one with the lowest mark awarded. You have full editing rights, kindly remove all unnecessary material before the date due. 12. All date/time mentioned and used is in Australian Eastern Standard Time (or Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time) or Sydney time.
