References and bibliography
Include a list of references (sources which are actually cited in the report or essay itself) and a bibliography (sources which you consulted but which are not mentioned in the report or essay itself) (Johns 1996). Detailed guidance is provided in another of the guides in this series.
Appendices (reports only)
Appendices are used to include supporting evidence for those who may wish more detail, such as a copy of a questionnaire, an interview schedule, detailed statistical tabulations, etc. Appendices can also be very effective if they present published data, such as a table from a case study, in a new light, or generate new data based on published information. It is also good practice to offer an interpretation of data provided in the appendices rather than leaving the reader to reach their own conclusions. Always refer to material in your appendices at an appropriate point in the main body of your report. Do not include material as an appendix if it has not been mentioned in the main body of the report and avoid using appendices as a way of getting around the word limit. If the material is essential to your argument it should be included in the main body of your report. Appendices should be used for tactical reasons not as ‘bins’ for material that looks good but is largely irrelevant.

To help you get started on your coursework assignment you need to spend time clarifying the requirements, noting the relevant themes, and drafting an outline structure.
