Your field reports should be handed-in with a “professional” appearance (e.g., typed (double-spaced),
pages numbered, cover page, titled sections (Objectives, Field Methodology, etc.), clearly written
paragraphs, figures with figure captions, etc.)

Your field reports should include the following:

1) Title Page – including your name and your team members (if appropriate)

2) Summary – This follows the title page, it is a brief (no more than two to three paragraphs) description
                       of what you did, where  you did it, and what you found.  In many professional consulting
                       reports this is called an executive summary.

3) Objectives – This section describes why you did what you did.

4) Field Area – This section describes where you did what you did.

5) Field Methodology – This section describes how you did what you did.

6) Data Processing – This section describes what you did to the data that you collected as you described
                                    in the field methodology section.

7) Results or Observations or Data Interpretation – This section describes your observations or results
                                    from the data processing that you described in the previous section.

8) Conclusions – This section re-caps what you have done, and might include suggestions on how your
                             field methodology might be improved, or on what might be some of the major questions
                             raised by your results.

Any accompanying figures should be included within the sections.  All figures should be referred to in the
          text of the report and include a figure caption.

If you reference published literature in your field report you also need to include a
          References Cited section.
