· The name of the class
· The name of the professor
· The names of the group members
· The date when it is presented
Summary/Abstract (1 page)
This part of the report summarizes the ground covered in the body of the report so that anyone wanting a quick review of what the report is about can quickly get the gist of the findings. It must state:
* The aims of the report
* The depth of study that went into the research
* Whether the objective was achieved.
It has to be written in a complete page.
Table of Contents (1 page)
A table of contents is essential for any report that is longer than about ten pages.
The table of contents must be on a page of its own and the page references must match those in the text.
Introduction (1 page)
The introduction gives a broad, general overview of the subject. Its length depends on the target reader's existing knowledge. Try to condense the information to:
· What will you be doing to address in this paper?
It must clearly state the purpose (Objective) of the report. This will help the readers to judge the document's success. Use the introduction to provide the necessary background information, like the sequence of events leading to what you want the leader to know. Tell the readers how the discussion in the body of the report will be developed.
Objectives (1 page) (Objective writing is writing that you can verify through evidence and facts. If you are writing objectively, you must remain as neutral as possible through the use of facts, statistics, and research)
· One general
· Three specific
Body of the Report (17 pages)
This is where the issues outlined in the introduction are expanded. The development of the arguments must be logical, the evidence relevant and the reasoning clear.
Sections include:
Literature Review (15 pages) (All the data cited (quoted) with APAs style) (Not less the 10 references)
Results [Discussion of Results via analysis] (2 pages)
The information in the body of a report can be organized in one of the several ways, for example:
Sequential: where the most important facts are presented first; other points are expounded in order of diminishing importance.
Hierarchical: where general statements are worked down into subsidiary points.
Comparative: where one idea is compared with another.It is usually combined with another method of organization.
Conclusion (1 page)
The conclusion summarizes the findings and inferences in the body of the report. The conclusion must not contain any new idea that has not been previously mentioned in the report.
Recommendations (1 page)
After analyzing all the facts, the author of the report is the person most likely to be able to make recommendations on courses of action. However, you should always consider your relationship with the reader: if you have no authority to make recommendations, the reader may be hostile. In such cases, the recommendations should take a more advisory tone.
This section is sometimes dealt together with the Conclusions [Conclusions and Recommendations].
References (1 page)
Throughout the text, it will be necessary to refer to other documents. Readers can then turn to them for confirmation and further study. Indicate a reference by placing an appropriate mark in the text. (See the section on Literature Review.)
Note: It has to be sent to my e-mail.

Blessings and nice rest of the day!!!
One way to approach course design is to start from the learning objectives, then move on to the other two components, and revisit the cycle iteratively as needed.
