** IMPORTANT NOTES ON STRUCTURE **

There have been a number of questions regarding the report structure for assessment. The aim of this assignment is to research your case study and analyse your

findings so you will be writing a ‘research report’. It may look a lot like the structured essays you have written to date. Here is a possible outline for your report

which allows you to incorporate your research (which is 25% of your mark), demonstrate your critical thinking and understanding of the case, and most importantly

analyse the evidence. You will not be successful in the assessment if you only describe a couple of articles.

Introduction
Case study summary
The body of the report:
Here you will create your own headings. You can only create headings after you have researched your topic. In the previous 2 assessments we provided the headings but

in this assessment you decide on the headings from your own research. Try to keep your headings short and relevant to your critical evaluation.
