Components of a Technical Report 2
- A meaningful, descriptive and grammatically correct title.
("COMP1710 Report" is not meaningful and not very descriptive.)
- Author name, affiliation (eg 'COMP1710 course School of
Computer Science')
- An informative abstract of about 200 words, which is really an
'executive
summary' of the report. "An abstract may act as a stand-alone
entity instead of a full paper."
- A list of appropriate keywords. These keywords should identify the
field of your report and its major topics.
- Body of technical report. (More later.)
- Acknowledgments. Acknowledge any help you received.
- Complete and accurate list of references cited in the technical
report. (Cite for: credit, identify related work, set context.)
