Information submitted for the progress brief and progress report may be utilised in the progress report permitting that it is your own work from major project in construction (Summer A 2020). The same structure as the progress report will be utilised and can be found in the assignment 2 folder on vUWS. 50 peer-reviewed references and in-text citations must be utilised in the Harvard WesternSydU style. (You can have additional standard references too). Images and figures is encouraged but must be numbered and referenced in Harvard WesternSydU style. Make sure you write in 3rd person, meaning don’t use words such as ‘I’ and ‘we’. Structure: Same as progress report except you must expand upon the progress report particularly in sections such as findings (Tacit Knowledge), as they are now worth more marks. Remember to reference in Harvard WesternSydU style with in-text citations in your writing and after your figures. The Harvard WesternSydU guide can be found: https://library.westernsydney.edu.au/main/sites/default/files/pdf/cite_Harvard.pdf Alternatively, you can download Endnote as well as the Harvard WesternSydU style. Most databases will give you a download to automatically reference your peer-reviewed articles. Endote can be downloaded from: https://library.westernsydney.edu.au/main/resources/downloads When completing this assessment utilise the progress and final report template found in the assignment 2 folder on vUWS. https://library.westernsydney.edu.au/main/sites/default/files/pdf/cite_Harvard.pdf https://library.westernsydney.edu.au/main/resources/downloads 300536 (Summer A 2020) Major Project in Construction School of Built Environment Thesis Report Marking Criteria: Criteria High Distinction Distinction Credit Pass Unsatisfactory Executive Summary (10%) Excellent executive summary that is succinct and free from errors.

Information submitted for the progress brief may be utilised in the progress report permitting that it is your own work from major project in construction (Summer A 2020). To expand upon the research area the structure must be changed to a report format which can be found in the assignment 2 folder on vUWS. Furthermore, you will need to add at least 10 peer-reviewed references and in-text citations in Harvard WesternSydU style. (You can have additional standard references too). The introduction of images and figures is encouraged but must be numbered and referenced in Harvard WesternSydU style. Make sure you write in 3rd person, meaning don’t use words such as ‘I’ and ‘we’. Structure: The structure of the assignment should utilise the following headings:  Executive Summary: The executive summary should be the last section you write even though it is located at the beginning. It should summarise the report and give key findings, you may not have all of the findings yet but summarise what you have.  Objective Statement: The objective should be a one or two sentence statement outlining the aim of your report. (e.g The objective of the study is to .........................................).  Specific Objectives: This section will explain in greater detail what the objectives are. There could be multiple objectives to a research problem which must be solved, you should list and explain them in this section.  Background: This should include more general information about the topic selected and serve as a kind of introduction to the research area.  Insert your heading here (Explicit Knowledge): You should now insert your own heading for your selected research area. In this section you should discuss various solutions that researchers have found. This will not only include advantages of their solutions but also disadvantages that they have found. (e.g A material is made more sustainable but at a greater expenditure). This must also be broken into sub- headings; you may have a heading for advantages, disadvantages and another for implications on the industry. (See assignment template). This section should find a number of solutions for comparison and have images and figures to support your report. Explicit knowledge is already known 300536 (Autumn 2020) Major Project in Construction School of Built Environment  Findings (Tacit Knowledge): This section is for greater analysis and should focus in on the most promising solution to the research problem. The analysis should explain how and why the solution can solve the problem. This section should also have sub- headings such as advantages, disadvantages and implication on the industry for the most promising solution. This section should also include figures to support your findings. Tacit knowledge is your analysis that you make yourself, in this case analysing and explaining the best solution found from peer-reviewed articles.  Conclusion: The conclusion should summarise the report and highlight some key findings and perhaps suggest what can be included in future investigations to solve the research problem.
