explanations of technical terms that have been covered. You do need to use technical
terms appropriately in your report.
Any material that you have used to inform your report should be included in the list of
references and cited within the main body of the report. You must not copy and paste any
material from the Internet or other sources.
You must write your report in your own words and support it with diagrams if appropriate.
