The references given at the end of the report must be mentioned inside the main report. Failure to comply with this requirement will severely affect the grade of the written report. Figure numbers and the table numbers must be mentioned inside the main body of the text of report before the figures or tables appear inside the report. References of the figures and the tables must be mentioned in the figure captions and table captions respectively. The hard copy (First draft) must be stapled before applying the plastic cover. The last page of the report should be Vita. If you come across any problems or questions, feel free to discuss with the course instructor.
