Components of a Technical Report - Body continued
Pay attention to important transitional sentences,
especially the first and last sentences of the report.
There are three standard ways to begin the introduction:
-
startling statement,
-
dramatic incident,
-
and quotation.
It is useful to end each report with a powerful sentence that concisely
summarizes the significance of the entire project.
Reasons in the report
Stick to project (scientific etc) reasons, do not include course
specific reasons such as report deadline etc.
Remember:
motivation,
methods,
results,
discussion.
