Best Practices
Back to Top
Here are some additional hints on preparing the best possible
project.
Apply a three-step process of writing: Plan, write, and
complete.
Prepare an outline of your research paper before you go
forward.
Complete a first draft, and then go back to edit, evaluate, and
make any changes required.
Use visual communication to further clarify and support the
written part of your report: graphs, diagrams, photographs,

4.
flowcharts, maps, drawings, animation, video clips, pictograms,
tables, and Gantt charts.
The following are additional best practices in preparing this
paper.
Cover Page
: Include who you prepared the paper for, who prepared it, and
the date.
Table of Contents
: List the main ideas and sections of your paper and the pages in
which they are located. The illustrations should be included
separately.
Introduction:
Use a header on your paper. This will indicate you are
introducing your paper.
The purpose of an introduction is to
introduce the subject and why the subject is important;
preview the main ideas and the order in which they will be
covered; and
establish a tone of the document.
Include in the introduction a reason for the audience to read the
paper. Also, include an overview of what you are going to cover
in your paper and the importance of the material. (This should
include or introduce the questions you are asked to answer on
each assignment.)
Body of Your Report
: Use a header titled with the name of your project. Example:
"The Development of Hotel X—A World Class Resort." Then,
proceed to break out the main ideas.
State the main ideas, state major points in each idea,
and provide evidence. Break out each main idea you will use in
the body of your paper. Show some type of division, such as
separate sections that are labeled, separate group of paragraphs,
or headers. You would include the information you found during
your research and investigation.
Summary and Conclusion
: Summarizing is similar to paraphrasing but presents the gist of

5.
the material in fewer words than the original. An effective
summary identifies the main ideas and major support points
from the body of your report. Minor details are left out.
Summarize the benefits of the ideas and how they effect the
tourism industry.
Work Cited
: Use APA or MLA format.
