Basic FYP dairy writing procedures:

 Record the date on each page. Start each day on a new page. Keep a record of the time
you spend on each step of your project. One easy way to do this is to note the time
you started and the time you finished each activity in your dairy.
 Do not remove pages, and do not skip pages.

3
  Avoid backfilling. If you realize later that you left something out, or just want to
summarize something, go ahead and write it in, noting that it’s after-the-fact.
 Include everything that contributes to the progress of the FYP tasks… good, bad, and
ugly.
 If new information/source are in the form of loose sheets/paper/notes, paste them
inside the dairy and record the date properly on the pages. If the source is larger, fold
and paste neatly into the dairy page.
