The Organization of the Report:
The typical structure of your report should include the following parts:
•
Cover Page
This should contain the approved project title, names of group members, names of the instructor,
the name of the college and department, and the date of submission.
•
Table of Contents
This should not exceed one page and should list the major sections of the report along with the
page numbers on which they start. It permits quick reference for finding specific information
in the report.
•
Introduction
The introduction guides your reader into the paper by introducing the topic. It should begin with
a hook that catches the reader’s interest. This hook could be a quote, an analogy, a question, etc.
After getting the reader’s attention, the introduction should give some background information
on the topic. The ideas within the introduction should be general enough for the reader to
understand the main claim and gradually become more specific to lead into the main purpose of
the project.
•
Body
The body of the project supports the main points presented in the project statement. Each point
is developed by one or more paragraphs and supported with specific details. These details can
include support from research and experiences, depending on the assignment. In addition to this
support, the author’s own analysis and discussion of the topic ties ideas together and draws
conclusions that support the project statement.
•
Conclusions and Recommendations
The conclusion brings together all the main points of the project. It refers back to the thesis
statement and leaves readers with a final thought and sense of closure by resolving any ideas
brought up in the essay. It may also address the implications of the argument. In conclusion, new
topics or ideas that were not developed in the paper should not be introduced.
