this topic and your model are important. (5 marks).

All of this must fit in 5 pages, including references. Some advice on references is provided at the end of this document. You can use appendices for aIDitional material, including some SPSS output, but note that the appendices are not explicitly marked. The appendices must be less than 3 pages long. Anyone who goes over the 5 page limit for the First Report will not have any work beyond the 5 pages markedReferences/Bibliography
Whenever you draw upon information contained in another paper, you must acknowledge the
source. All references to the literature must be followed immediately by an indication of the source
of the information that is referenced, we expect you to use the Harvard system, e.g. A drop in
dissolved oxygen under similar conditions has been demonstrated before (Norris, l986).
Williams (1921) was the first to report this phenomenon.
;. . . . . as discussed in detail by Ramsay (1983).
If two authors are involved, include both surnames,
The dune lakes of Jervis Bay are not perched in the generally accepted sense (Smith and Jones
l964).
However if more than two authors are involved, you are encouraged to make use of the et al.
convention. It is an abbreviation of Latin meaning and others.
The significance of changes in egg contents during development is poorly understood (Webb et al.,
1986).“
Do not use the et al. abbreviation in the reference or bibliography list at the end of the paper. If two
or more articles written by the same author in the same year are cited, then distinguish between
them using the suffixes a, b, c etc in both the text and the reference list (e.g. Smith and Jones,
1982b).
If you include in your report, phrases, sentences or paragraphs lifted verbatim from the literature, it
is not sufficient to simply cite the source. You must include the material in quotes and you must
give the number of the page from which the quote was lifted. For example:
Day (l979:3l) reports a result where 33.3% of the mice used in this experiment were cured by the
test drug; 33.3% of the test population were unaffected by the drug and remained in a moribund
condition; the third mouse got away.
The reference/bibliography list should contain all references cited in the text but no more.
Include with each reference details of the
