• Percentage of total Grade: 25 %
• Type of Collaboration: Individual
• Due: 29th May 2020, 17:00h on vUWS
2 Instructions
Students will design their own research report, experiment, project proposal, funding
proposal, observing proposal, or similar, however, restricted to the STEM. This will
take the form of a written document using official templates and LaTeX styles used in
class.
2.1 Report Format and guidelines
For your Written report 2, you will use the LiteratureReview.tex template found in
the LaTeX template.zip on the vuws site.
The Written Report 2 will be original and individual work and will have a minimum
length of 1500 words. It should start with short introduction of the topic (not more than
two paragraphs) which will summarise your Literature Review (WR1) and re-iterate the
main question/problem which you are trying to solve in this report.
Next sections depend on the format of your WR2 (research proposal or research
project). For more information regarding content of your WR2 please refer to lecture notes (Week 3, Week 4, Week 5 and Week 7 and Tutorial Notes Week 10) and
recommended literature.

As with WR1 only one submission attempt is allowed. PLEASE CHECK
AND THEN CHECK AGAIN YOUR REPORT BEFORE THE SUBMISSION! No
additional submission will be possible.
2.2 Technical requirements
• the report must have a minimum length of 1500 words (not including references),
• the submitted report MUST be in the pdf format compiled in LaTeX typesetting
software. Other formats (e.g. pdf compiled by MS Word) will result in the final
mark reduced by 50%,
• if the format is research project the report must contain statistical component
(see Lecture Notes from Week 10 and Week 11 and Tutorial Notes Week 5 and
Week 11) done by you (not just adopted from reviewed papers). If the data used
in statistical consideration is adopted from another paper you must clearly state
the source of the data,
• if the format is research proposal the report must contain anticipated timeline
(in the format of gantt chart) and budget (in the tabular format) of the project,
• your report must contain Abstract and References (or Bibliography) sections.
Make sure that sure your citations are done correctly using cite or citep commands. You can use the same references from WR 1,
• all adopted images and adopted data in the report must have clearly stated source,
must have caption and must be cross-referenced in the main text.
• marking criteria are presented in Figures 1 and 2.
Finally, submit only the pdf file created by typesetting (it will be in the same folder where your .tex
file resides) using vUWS.
