Guidelines for the Assignment:
Use standard Arial font size 11.
Use 1.5-line spacing.
Have a 2.5-centimeter margin on the left hand side of the page and a 2-centimeter margin on the right hand side.
Include page numbers.
Headings: use 16-point Arial Bold for first level headings, and 14-point Arial Bold for second level headings. If a third level heading is required, use 12-point Arial Bold.
Attach a completed Statement and Confirmation of Own Work to the front of the paper copy of your assignment.
The first page of your assignment should be a title page, which should also state your name, Edexcel BTEC ID number and the name of the Centre where you are studying.
Include a table of contents.
Start each task on a new page and include the question at the top of the page.
Ensure any diagrams, screen shots, PowerPoint slides, etc. fit correctly on the page and are referenced, for example, Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc.
Check spelling, grammar and punctuation.
You should also ensure that you proofread your document, because the above checks do not always pick up every mistake.
Use accurate Harvard referencing and include a bibliography.
Ensure you are aware of the word limit for the assignment (2500-3500 word limit) and any regulations that apply if you exceed the word limit.
Include the total word count at the end of the assignment.
