This is an Interim report, not the final year report. The Interim/ literature review report: The requirement of an Interim literature review report submitted at the end of Semester 1 is to help you focus on the necessary tasks required for the timely completion of your project. It is also an opportunity for you to receive feedback from your Supervisor on your writing and understanding of the project background and your plan to meet project objectives. Words from your Interim report can be used in your final project report, so taking time at this stage will reduce the effort required at the end of the year. The interim report will consist primarily of the Literature Survey, which should constitute a critical and concise discussion of the background literature to your project. It should cover reviews and papers that you have read yourself, relevant to the project and the length and importance of the literature survey will vary with the individual project. As a guide, the length of your survey should be 1000-2000 words for BEng students and 2000-3000 words for MEng students, but it will be judged primarily on quality not on length. You are strongly advised to consult your main Supervisor for advice about the content and nature of your literature review. Figures, tables or diagrams may be included in the literature survey but if included they must be clear (photocopies or scanned images are often inadequate) and be properly acknowledged. The survey may include the following, if appropriate: division of topic into sections identifying important aspects (e.g. processing methods, properties, techniques, background science); description of key studies to be listed in references at the end; evidence of a critical appraisal of published work; identification of gaps in knowledge and areas requiring further research (i.e., leading to reasons why you are doing your research project); a concise summary of the main points emerging from the survey and overall conclusions about the present state of the field and future prospects. Remember to adopt appropriate scientific conventions, for example: make sure you use a consistent referencing format; use relevant units; make sure estimates of error or precision are given where appropriate. The second aspect of the Interim report is the Research Progress-to-Date, which includes any theoretical or experimental results. The third part of the Interim report will consist of a Forward Plan, where you will clearly state what the objectives of the work are, the experiments and/or methodology that you will use to meet the objectives, and the timeframe in which the project will be brought to its conclusion. It is worth noting that this Interim report is worth 10% of the overall project mark, and that once you receive comments from your Supervisor (during the first weeks of Semester 2), he or she will read no further reports in detail. The marking scheme for the interim report will be attached. You should read this carefully to understand the level of attainment required in each research competency. Important note: please read all the attachments for a better understanding, also further research must be done. Important note: for the embedding materials, consider paraffin wax, polyethylene, PP, superglue or epoxy. a couple of the attached documents will talk about embedding the sample using PE, bare in mind that the procedure will be different for other materials.do a comparison if necessary, from what I read Paraffin wax looks very promising.
