Effective Report Writing

The style for not taking is abbreviations and point forms that the writer can remember. In note-taking, the aims are to write down the key points that one feels are essential and useful in writing the final report. In note-taking, there is a heading followed by points that are in bullets or numbers. Each of the points in note-taking should represent a single idea. At least each of the points should be one sentence and grammatically correct, with all the punctuations adequately inserted. In report writing, the points are now written in detail using paragraphs. There are an explanation and elaboration of the points using approximately five to six sentences from a paragraph. The style of note-taking is different from that of report writing. In note-taking, there is no accurate description of the points as they are states in point form. In note-taking, there is an explanation of each of the points in a single paragraph. Each paragraph contains a single idea. 

The proper writing style is to have a title page, the reference table, an abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, and the conclusion. There is also a need to have the bibliography to acknowledge some of the borrowed information from other sources ("Student Learning Development," n.p). An appropriate style for report writing lacks the bibliography and in-text citation to acknowledge work from other people to improve academic integrity. Also, grammatical errors are the primary concern in report writing. All the sentences should be grammatically correct, and it is possible to achieve that through proofreading the work more than once. While starting a report is vital to have an outline that will provide guidelines on how forward and monitor report writing progress.
