Ann,
My appendices were more or less the same length as the report itself and
mine passed! So, as long as it's relevant I'd include it.

I'm
writing up my PDR right now and have a question regarding Appendices that
I hope some of you can help with? I note that in the Regulations
& Notes of Guidance book it says "The Appendices should not
normally exceed the report proper in length". Is that the only
rule, other than they must, of course, be relevant to what you are
discussing in the report? The few PDRs I have read courtesy of the
Regional Liason Officer have been quite short on Appendices (i.e. about 5
- 10 single A4 pages max), and discuss Health or Academic
viewpoints. I work in a Film Archive (following Route B), and am
finding a lot of the work I am involved in is rather specialised in
certain areas and that some clear photographs would be great as
supporting appendices (showing the Film Vaults, or film being catalogued,
for example). Would photographs as well as some documentation be
acceptable/relevant to have as Appendices? I guess my feeling is
that I should try to cut down on supporting material as much as possible,
what do other members of the list think? On the other hand, as long
as it is relevant/referred to in the Report and the Appendices are
shorter than the report as a whole, does it really
matter?!!!!!
Thanks for your help,
Ann
