Components of a Technical Report 2

  1. A meaningful, descriptive and grammatically correct title. ("COMP1710 Report" is not meaningful and not very descriptive.)
  2. Author name, affiliation (eg 'COMP1710 course School of Computer Science')
  3. 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."
  4. A list of appropriate keywords. These keywords should identify the field of your report and its major topics.
  5. Body of technical report. (More later.)
  6. Acknowledgments. Acknowledge any help you received.
  7. Complete and accurate list of references cited in the technical report. (Cite for: credit, identify related work, set context.)
