|
| Language and figures: the quality of language in your report, as well as the clarity and usefulness of any images, graphs, tables, etc. you include.
You should present graphs, tables, images, etc. if they improve the quality of your report, but you do not need to do so to achieve the top grade, as long as you present information in the most appropriate way in your report. In other words, if you choose to not use graphs, tables, images, etc. and it would make your report better if you did include them, you may lose points. If your report would not be improved by including images, graphs, tables, etc. then you will not lose points if you do not include them.
