Introduction

This section is a brief introduction of the background information surrounding the topic. You can scour the Internet for online information as well as read the literature and journals in the Science, or Medical or other libraries but make sure the journal articles are properly cited in your Reference section.

You might like to include images from other websites (by using an HTML IMG tag).

Objectives

There should be a clear statement of your objectives based on the theme assigned to you by your TAs. Formulating your objectives is a very important process. Along the way, based on your findings or the lack of findings, you may have to modify or alter your objectives accordingly, in consultation with your TAs.

Materials and Methods

In this section, you will quote all the data sources you have used and cite them in the Reference section.
It helps a lot if you take notes methodically and systematically and meticulously for every step that you take, every URL you search, and every significant result you get, which can be useful to you when you write up this section.
You will make full declaration of the process and methods and procedures you have carried out to achieve the finding, including the website address, the type of program used, and the different parameters and conditions you have used to achieve your results. Generally speaking, the basic principle is that of providing sufficient information to allow anyone to reproduce and verify your research.

Results

In this section, you produce data to back your discussion and your conclusion. You should include diagrams or images (gifs/jpg) into your report using the appropriate HTML tags. You can make use of special HTML tags to organize you report and to make hyperlinks wherever possible for more information about a certain piece of information located on another webpage. However, there should not be gaudy colours or too much animation or fancy effects as this project is not about Web page design, but on using the Web as a medium for displaying and publishing your findings online via the Internet.

You are likely to include images. To do this, you must name the files (filenames are case-sensitive) and upload them using the Easy Upload system provided for you.

Please make sure that you use relative links, i.e. check the link to make sure it does not contain C:\DIRECTORY\ in front of the picture.jpg.

So what is the content of this section? Well, instructions on the theme of your project will be given to you during the practical sessions from which you will derive the contents of your Results section.

Discussion and Conclusion

Here you argue your case in the discussion based on your interpretation of your results, and derive conclusions if any, based on a well reasoned argument. You will draw attention to what you have read about what others have found, and thereby explain what it is you have found. Essentially, the hallmark of a good report is to ask, what have I found that has extended the frontiers of scientific knowledge.

References and Bibliography

In this section, you should put all your references to journals and other websites.

Important Notes

You can view the source of this file by right-clicking on this webpage, and selecting "View Source" to see the full HTML code, which you can copy, edit and use as a template for your project submission.
Bacterial names are binomial and italicised, e.g. Escherichia coli or Burkholderia pseudomallei, genus first with first letter capitalised and then the species name, all lowercase. The full name is cited on first mention in an article. On subsequent mention, the binomial name is abbreviated. When abbreviated, the first letter of the genus name is uppercased, e.g. E. coli or B. pseudomallei. If you are writing by hand, italics is indicated by underlining the words which should be italicised.
When composing your report, especially your introduction, it is important to note that if you copy what somebody else words or text, word for word, you should enclose them in quotes, "" and cite them in the reference.
If you are using their ideas, or referring to their findings, or making a statement, in your own words, which uses their work, you need not put them in quotes, but you must still cite them in the reference.
If you do not cite them, and you use their words or ideas or findings, you may be guilty of varying degrees of plagiarism.

If unsure, please cite the source where you got the information from, unless the information is common knowledge, typically found in any textbook. NUS Digital Library offers some guidelines on how to cite a reference.
