1. Title page and two written pages with no more than 500 words.
2. Answers to individual questions (as assigned) Each assignment will have specific questions you need to address. You should create a sub-headed section for each one.
3. References/Appendix (if required) These are not research papers per se, so you may not have the need to cite outside sources. If you do, however, they should be identified on a proper reference page. Similarly, if you are required to do calculations and choose to perform them on a separate page, you should include them in an appendix.
