Writing Reports
Reports are informative documents, written for a specific purpose and audience. They're a common form of communication in professional and business settings, so understanding how to write and structure reports can be an important skill involving effective communication and critical thinking. Reports aim to provide factual information, analyse findings, and make recommendations based on research and data. This is presented in a structured format, with headings and subheadings, so that information is easy to follow.
Always consult your tutor for any additional subject specific guidance.
