Module 24

This chapter talks about Long Reports. The author goes in depth about organizing time for report writing, applying strategies for report section writing, and lastly comparing and contrasting formats and styles for long reports. When writing a long report, write parts as soon as you can and spend most of your time on sections that support your recommendations. There are several parts to a long report including a title page, letter or memo of transmittal, table of contents, list of illistrations, executive summary, introduction, background or history, and lastly conclusions and recommendations. Conclusions summarize points made in the body of the report; recommendations are action items that would solve or partially solve the problem.
