Tips to write a good report:
Please note that the most successful approach to producing your Assignment is to complete a Draft Section as part of your studies for each Session. Once all of your Draft Sections are completed you should then analyse the content and produce the Recommendations Section. You can then complete the Introduction and Conclusion Sections. When you have a complete Report, review all of the content and make any amendments needed.
The most successful approach to producing your Assessment is to begin with Section 2 of report. Ideally this should be completed during your study time for Topics 2, 3, 4 and 5. Once Section 2 is completed you should then produce the Section 3 during your study time for Topics 7, 8, 9 and 10.
Once Section 3 is completed you should work on Section 4, your Recommendations. Finally you can then complete the Introduction and Conclusion Sections. When you have a complete Report, review all of the content and make any amendment’s needed.
