      Formal reports are used constantly in a professional environment to propose and discuss new ideas and designs. An official report has to flow well so the the ideas, designs, and text flow easily when presented to the right audience. It helps organize and structure thoughts to paper backed with data and other supporting documents.
  • Engineers and scientists write formal reports for many reasons, including the documentation of experiments and designs
  • In a formal report, the audience expects a methodical presentation of the subject that includes summaries of important points as well as appendices on tangential and secondary points
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • Format distinguishes formal reports from an informal reporting of information. A well-crafted formal report is formatted such that the report's information is readily accessible to all the audiences
  • Front Matter
  • The front matter to a formal report includes the preliminary information that orients all readers to the content of the report.
  • Front Cover. The front cover of a formal report is important. The front cover is what people see first.
  • Contents Page. The table of contents includes the names of all the headings and subheadings for the main text.
  • Summary. Perhaps no term in engineering writing is as confusing as the term "summary."
  • References. Use a reference page to list alphabetically the references of your report.
  • Main Text The text portion of your formal report contains the introduction, discussion, and conclusion of your report.
  • Introduction. The introduction of a report prepares readers for understanding the discussion of the report.
  • Discussion. The discussion or middle is the story of your work. You do not necessarily present results in the order that you understood them, but in the order that is easiest for your readers to understand them.
  • Conclusion. The conclusion section analyzes for the most important results from the discussion and evaluates those results in the context of the entire work.
  • Back Matter The back matter portion of your report contains your appendices, glossary, and references.
  • Appendices. Use appendices to present supplemental information for secondary readers.
  • Glossary. Use a glossary to define terms for secondary readers. Arrange terms in alphabetical order.
  • Title Page. The title page for a formal report often contains the same information as is on the cover.

    This site describes the difference between informal and formal reports.It also discuses the details such as font matter, front cover, title page, content page, summary, conclusion, etc. Sample reports are viewed on the left hand side of the site.

    This website contained a lot of information that just gave an overview on the basics of formal reports. It also explained how formal reports differ from an informal way of reporting information. It also split a formal report into 3 sections that I did not see in the other website I found. In this one it states that there is front matter, main text, and back matter. Each of these contains different sections within as well. Very helpful for when we have to work on Project #3!

    I like this website because it gives you good explanation on different things you need in a good report. It talks about the front matter like front cover. tittle page, contents page and summary. Also about the main text like introduction, discussion, conlcusion. Back matter is also important with the appendices and glossary.

    A whole site dedicated to using Wordpress! There are so many themes that it's incredibly difficult to choose!  This site suggests going through the various view options, such as the front page view, single page view, and the comments, and them comparing how each appear. Is the sidebar present in all views or just some? Does the header change, etc.? The author of this site suggests going through and investigating every aspect of the new theme. The site also lists the various layout options and also suggests that content match theme. What impression do I wish my audience to have?

    This site has several good tutorials. I think the Featured Posts tutorial and the tutorial that shows you how to put text over your lead graphic seem like they'd be interesting blog additions. The draw back on these changes is that you have to be familiar with web encoding though.

    While I know wikipedia is looked down upon in the academic community, it also is a combined effort of individuals publishing together from numerous nations. The front page also presents the divide in published articles from those nations. With anyone able to publish information, it can create a new identity for users to be perceived in the online community.
