Conclusion

In this Mini‐Module we have examined some of the preparatory
activities which must take place before a report is written, and some of
the techniques for getting information across to the reader accurately.
We have suggested a structure for report writing which may create the
right sort of impact and which enables you to write a coherent story.
We have tried to ask questions which will challenge you to look at your
report writing critically.
Next time you write a report, when it is finished, see whether you have
converted the principles into practice by using the checklist shown in
Figure 11, The Finished Report: A Checklist, to test its quality.
