If you are going to write a report, it usually consists not only of the information found, but also of a preface, summary, introduction and conclusion.
The table describes what is in one report must be, where exactly it must be and what must be described or which rules it must comply with.
What part of the report? | Where in the report? | What is in it / how should it be written? |
---|---|---|
Preface | Right after the title page | No content of the report!
|
Summary | After the preface | Maximum 1 A4!
|
preface | After the summary |
|
Conclusion | At the end of the report |

Process report
Usually it is good to, in addition to your regular report, also another process report to make. This will include the following;
- Log, which keeps track of who has done what, how the weeks have gone, etc.
- Learning goals; everyone can think of something he or she wants to learn while writing the report,
- Evaluation; at the end of the report, the process report evaluates whether the division of labor was fair, how everyone found the cooperation and whether everyone achieved their learning goal.
On the basis of a process report, the teacher can see whether you have planned well, followed the planning and whether everyone has made an equally good effort.
Helpful hints
To make your report look as good as possible, the layout also very important. Consider, for example, the font. This should be clear and neither too big nor too small. Indicate headings in the text by making them bold and the title of a chapter can be a font size larger! Another important aspect is pictures. Only put pictures in your report if they are necessary to make something clear. Pictures that serve no purpose often give a messy picture and the reader does not like that.
