Report Writing
Report writing is the process of presenting information in a structured way to inform, guide or influence decision-making and/or the outcome of a course of action.
To craft an effective report, you will need to:
- Identify and analyse a problem or topic using existing data and literature.
- Communicate a key message with the analysis of research and results to resonate with the targeted audience.
- Propose practical recommendations and conclusions to the problem.
