This is a list of general typesetting rules for the interim and final report of CM0343.
Iterim Reports should be at most 5,000 words and final reports should be at most 15,000 words long. The word count does not include the supporting structures, but only the contents of the main report sections. There is no minimum length but it is mainly through the report that your project will be judged so the report should adequately reflect the work done in the project.
Reports should be printed using 12pt typefaces.
Reports should have single line spacing. The report should be economical on paper. It should not, for example, contain excessive amounts of white space. Only the major sections need to begin on a new page.
Reports should be typeset with some word-processing system, e.g. LaTeX, LibreOffice or Word. The final project report should be presented as a PDF file with any other documentation in the appendices of the report. Artefacts produced for the project that are to be processed by other software such as a compiler or interpreter should be submitted as separate file(s), e.g., in an archive file. Typically this will be the source code for software developed for the project. For details see the Submission Guide and also the guides for the Interim report and Final report.
