    1. 25 to 30 pages is inclusive of all parts of your report including the problem and methodology, review of literature, discussion and recommendations (but excludes the Title page and References). However, while I encourage you to keep the paper between the 25 to 30 pages, I will not penalize you for going over.”
  2. Final Paper/Research Project should be written in past tense because you are putting forth your hypothesis and reporting what has happened instead of what you expect to happen.
    1. Business Plan may be written in future tense if business is not yet operational.
  3. Do not use the first person (I, me) in the report.
  4. Make certain to incorporate any suggestions for improvement that were made in both papers.

Please ask questions as we go along. Do not wait until the end!
