5.15.3 Focus on process rather than outcomes.
 Your assessor 
will usually be more interested in how you went about your project than 
where you ended up.  
5.15.4 Publications:
 Publishing the results of scientific research and 
applied projects is an integral part of academic life. You should be thinking 
about potential publications arising out of your work. Look to your supervisor 
for assistance in identifying appropriate journals/conferences and topics.  
5.15.5 Write as you go
: The report should form an integral part of your 
work while you undertake the project. Writing the report as you go along will 
not only make life a lot easier at the end of the project but will also reduce 
the risk of finding out that you are lacking important content when it is too 
late to remedy the situation.  
Check: Double check references to figures/tables and table of contents 
page numbers before your final print run.
