Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

4.5 Appendices

Course subject(s) 4. Reporting your findings

Appendices

The appendices of a report can be regarded as a storage space: report components such as Python code, long mathematical calculations or derivations or large amounts of data can be placed in an appendix rather than in the main body of the text. This way, they do not interrupt the flow of argumentation in the report. Instead, the main text can refer to the appendix when its information is used.

When writing appendices, keep the following points in mind:

  • Each appendix should have a single topic.
  • An appendix does not have a chapter number. Instead, it has an appendix letter: Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C.
  • Each appendix should have an informative title.
  • The information in an appendix should be relevant to the report. Each appendix should be mentioned in one or more in-text references.

Next, a page for questions about all these report components.
