Title page Table of content List of graphics Abstract Introduction Method Results and Discussion Conclusion References Bibliography Appendices The abstract, the summary of report, although it comes first logistically, always should be written last. It needs to be written last because it is the essence of your report, drawing information from all of the other sections of the report. It explains why the experiment was performed and what conclusions were drawn from the results obtained. Give a clear picture of what research was undertaken, the method used, and why this was considered appropriate. Detail might include: ▪ Step-by-step description of the procedure ▪ Size and extent of study ▪ Participants; nature, number, how selected, where found ▪ Materials used ▪ How results were documented ▪ How results were analyzed ▪ Other relevant details In the Results and Discussion section, you present your results and discuss them by: commenting on the results obtained interpreting what the results mean and explaining any results which are unexpected. The bibliography lists all other sources you used while researching for your report, but which are not mentioned in the report itself. An appendix typically includes data and supporting documents used by the writer to develop the report. Though such information should be of potential use to the reader Appendices allow you to include any additional information (survey results, tables, figures, previous report findings, relevant letters or memos, etc.) that you have not built into your proposal's main text.
