The key differences between writing a report and an essay; are that an essayprovides opportunity for exploration of ideas which can be expanded on in a lot more detail.A report on the other hand is more prescriptive in its structure and the language that isused. This means that your writing style needs to be concise and clear. Reports are brokenup into headings and subheadings, can include tables, graphs and diagrams; and informationcan be presented in dot point form whereappropriate.The following is a basic report structure which can be used to successfully complete thisassessment task.IntroductionThis section requires you to provide background information on the topic you have chosento investigate (including historical context, surrounding changes in our understanding), thepurpose of your report, and what information your report will contain. This section is to bewritten in complete sentences and paragraphs. It does not to contain any dot pointinformation or tables, graphs anddiagrams.Body of ReportThis section will be broken up into a series of subheadings which will address each of thekey areas you are required to research for your topic. The majority of these sections shouldbe written in complete sentences and paragraphs however, you can include graphs,diagrams and tables that may be appropriate. Ensure that you title these clearly, in thecorrect way, and reference using the APA system where necessary. Tables, graphs anddiagrams can also be added in an appendix at the end of your report, and when doing this,you need to clearly state where the item can be located. Generally, information presentedin this format does not count towards your overall word count. Some information may bepresented in dot point, however if the majority of your information is set out in this way itmakes it difficult to evaluate your level of understanding for each area being researched.ConclusionThis section brings together all of the information that you have presented in your report,and links back to your introduction any information that adds value to ouroverallunderstanding of the topic. You can also discuss any areas which have been identified asrequiring further research or investigation and how this will work to improve or change ourunderstanding of the topic. This section does not introduce or discuss any new informationspecifically, and like the introduction, will be written in complete sentences and paragraphs.No tables, graphs, diagrams or dot points.NUTR2001 Assessment 2 Part B Page 4 of 4ReferencesAfter the body of your report, you should list your references. You will need to list them inalphabetical order using the surname of the author, as per the APA 6th Edition format.Please ensure that you list all the resources you have used throughout the report,including any items in the Appendix.AppendixHere you can include information which you may have referred to specifically throughoutyour report, but were unable to include directly into the report (usually due to limitedword count). You need to ensure that anything you include here is clearly titled and easilyidentifiable as to where it relates within yourreport.NUTR2001 Assessment 2 Part B Page 5 of 4Word CountWord count must be clearly displayed on the title page or cover sheet. Required word countdoes not include text appearing in the title page, abstract, reference list or appendices, butdoes include in-text citations, the body of the text, headings and tables*. Tables, graphs, andfigures should be included as Appendices at the end of your assignment, and should notsubstitute the amount of information or discussion in the body of the academic submission,and should not consist of more than 10% of the total assignment word count. If you have anyqueries please consult with your lecturer before you complete and submit your assessment.
