The final report should be typed or word-processed in double or one and a half spacing.  Use Times New Roman font size 12. Well-written reports have plenty of white space in page design. Pages should be numbered. There should be a margin of at least 1” at the top bottom and right side margin, with at least one and a half on the left margin to allow for spiral binding.

 

The report length is 10,000 words, maximum. Please state the word count at the end. There will be a mark penalty for exceeding the word limit. This word count excludes the bibliography and appendices.  An additional 500 to 800 words are allowed for your Personal Learning Statement.
