How to
Prepare Your Assignment
| You will be expected to prepare your answers as a
well-organized report in Microsoft Word. This report, as with all
materials submitted in this class, should be formatted as though it was
being submitted by an Environmental professional as a work product.
Assume your audience is your management staff or an outside client who
is familiar with the problem to be solved and who is somewhat familiar
with statistical techniques. Your task is to lay out the problem,
the assumptions, the results, and the conclusions of your analysis in a
way that any reasonably educated environmental professional or manager
could understand. |
| If you need to include work done in another program
such as Excel, cut-and-paste that information into Word and format it
appropriately. This includes using only the appropriate number of
significant digits, including units, labeling each value, labeling
graphs and graph axes, and so forth. |
| Do not submit your Excel spreadsheet. You must
excerpt the appropriate information, tables, and/or graphs and include
them in your report. |
| Your conclusions must be stated in language that is
meaningful to the audience. That is, don't just give the statistical
conclusion (Reject the null hypothesis for example). You must clearly
state what the conclusion means to an environmental manager in language
understandable to them. |
