Find out how much space you are allowed!

Is there a standard format?

Yes, there is! As with an oral presentation, there is normally:

· a Title page, telling others the title of the project, the people involved in the work and their affiliation.

· a Summary of the project stating what you have set out to do, how you have done it, the key findings and the main results.

· an Introduction that should include clear statements about the problem that you are trying to solve, the characteristics that you are trying to discover or the proofs that you are trying to establish. These should then lead to declarations of project aims and objectives.

· a Theoryor Methodologysection that explains the basis of the technique that you are using or the procedure that you have adopted in your study. You should also state and justify any assumptions, so that your results could be viewed in the proper context.

· a Results section that you use to show illustrative examples of the main results of the work..

· a Conclusion section, listing the main findings of your investigation, and

· a Further Work section that should contain your recommendations and thoughts about how the work could be progressed; other tests that could be applied, etc.
