General Guidelines about report
writing
Task 1 - Case Study - Report of 3000 words (section-wise)
Guidelines – General
1. Do not flatly summarise one study at a time but ‘synthesise’ your
several insights/understanding from the multiple studies.
2. In your report, you should be able to extract important and
overlapping ideas from the literature to support your own
thesis
esearch.
3. Conclusion - The conclusion should both summarize and highlight
the most important points you’ve tried to establish in the body of
your paper and state how these points support your thesis. At each
stage, however, ask yourself –how does this support my argument?
Is this fact clear to my reade
assessor?
Task 1 - Case Study - Report of 3000 words (section-wise)
Guidelines – General
5. Structure - At any given point in the paper, it should not only be clear
to the reader what you’re saying but also why you’re saying it.
Transition language needs to be accompanied by explicitly tying
together or explaining the relationship between the different sections
of the paper.
6. Counter argument - If all of the authors you cite were locked in a
oom would they all agree on the question you’re exploring? Help your
eader to understand the tensions, contradictions and questions that
are left in the wake of their studies. Then argue for why –given these
tensions, contradictions and questions –your reader ought to side with
your own claims.
Task 1 - Case Study - Report of 3000 words (section-wise)
Guidelines – General
7. Proofreading - The host of punctuation and grammar e
ors, along
with the frequently awkward phrasing of the paper makes it read like a
first draft. This is very distracting and inhibits your ability to keep the
attention of the reader or convince the reader of your point.
8. Opening Statements - The principle to keep in mind is that the
opening is the first opportunity to make an impression on your reader –
free of e
ors, avoid trite opening lines, generic or obvious statements.
9. Thesis Statements - The thesis ought to tell your reader exactly what
you will be arguing in your paper. In addition, it ought to give the
eader some hint about why you’re going to argue that way.
Task 1 - Case Study - Report of 3000 words (section-wise)
Guidelines – General
10. Never let quotes stand on their own—explain them. There is one
skill for picking out relevant quotes from a text, and another skill
involved in understanding what it says.
11. Citing is not just good academic etiquette or helpful to the reader,
ut it keeps you honest, holds you accountable to the text.
