It is expected that all work submitted will be free from spelling and grammatical errors. It is your

from spelling errors. Please make every effort to ensure that the format is correct.

Some common errors include:

 Telling the reader to look at the diagram below when it is actually on the next page.
 Telling the reader to look at the blue and red lines on a graph when the work has been
printed as grey scale not colour.
 Describing an image or table and not putting it into the document.
 Correctly spelled words but wrong meaning (propeller shirt instead of propeller shaft)
