The Design Cycle

A: Inquiring and Analyzing 
Students are presented with a design situation, from which they identify a problem that needs to be solved. They analyze the need for a solution and conduct an inquiry into the nature of the problem. 

In order to reach the aims of design, students should be able to: 
1. explain and justify the need for a solution to a problem for a specified client/target audience 
2. identify and prioritize the primary and secondary research needed to develop a solution to the problem 
3. analyze a range of existing products that inspire a solution to the problem 
4. develop a detailed design brief which summarizes the analysis of relevant research.

Sample MLA Papers with In-text Citations, Works Cited (bibliography), Notes, & Appendices

According to the MLA Made Easy,  

If the paper has as Appendix, it begins on a new page after the body of the paper. The Works Cited page always comes last and begins on a page by itself. Page numbers continue throughout the paper to the end of the Works Cited page.

NOTE! Video below is wrong about placement in your report: an Appendix comes before the Works Cited!
