Another new task set ahead of me, learning to develop and write a report is a tad ambiguous and scary in what is reminded as a very short time frame?
I have found this website run by Grammarly:
I have a lot of work to consider and specifically a plan to build around this report, the first I must do, is read a report or find similar work that is considered to be a foundation in understanding the prospect of
Report type: Business/Academic
Report viewers: Vertical (both higher and lower positions)
Report type: Academic report – Formal and information
1. Executive Summary: Abstract – normally written after your report has concluded.
2. Introduction: Setting up the body of the report.
3. Body: Broken into headings and subheadings detailing major events or findings.
4. Conclusion: Personal input of opinions summarising the findings and data.
A report must include the following, remember to seek out and notice the design of the organisation’s layout of their reports! analysis the design of the report and think if this is how you want to present your findings:
- Title page: Official reports often use a title page to keep things organized; if a person has to read multiple reports, title pages make them easier to keep track of.
- Table of contents: Just like in books, the table of contents helps readers go directly to the section they’re interested in, allowing for faster browsing.
- Page numbering: A common courtesy if you’re writing a longer report, page numbering makes sure the pages are in order in the case of mix-ups or misprints.
- Headings and subheadings: Reports are typically broken up into sections, divided by headings and subheadings, to facilitate browsing and scanning.
- Citations: If you’re citing information from another source, the citation guidelines tell you the recommended format.
- Works cited page: A bibliography at the end of the report lists credits and the legal information for the other sources you got information from.
Using this guideline, I feel that I have the core understanding of making my report come to life, and bringing the evidence to life. The only concern would be following the guidelines of UAL and making the report in the similar format. Although a personal concern it is not a career one, as its experience building.
