Why a report?
The production of a good piece of technical writing for a project report is as
much a part of the project a
s doing the experimental work. However excellent
and original a piece of work the project may be, unless the results can be
communicated to other people it may as well not have been done!
Communicating results of an investigation in a clear and useful wa
y is a key
part of science and is the reason for devoting a lot of effort to this aspect.
2.
What level?
The main part of the report should be comprehensible by other stage 3
students. If more detailed information is to be in
cluded about some aspects
(for instance, a complicated mathematical derivation, of which only the result
is essential to the main discussion) consider including this as an appendix.
3.
How much detail to include?
It is not nec
essary, or even desirable; to describe every minute detail of what
was done. One of the most important aspects of good technical writing is to be
concise, yet remain informative. The ability to select what is essential, and to
omit what is merely incident
al detail, is a skill every scientist needs to develop.
In view of this, the main part of your report
must
be within the
word limit(s)
specified in the applicable module description
.
An overlon
g report
will be
penalized
and
receive a lower mark than it otherwise deserves.
4.
The nuts and bolts.
Two copies of the report need to be submitted. Students who have worked in
pairs must write and present independent reports, stressi
ng those aspects of
the project for which they were individually responsible.
5.
Format of reports.
Whilst not mandatory, there are good reasons for the usual format of a report.
Sections that you need to include are,
•
Title
•
Authors
•
Abstract
•
Table of contents
•
Introduction
•
Experimental techniques and methods
•
Results and discussion
•
Summary/conclusions
•
References
•
Appendices (if used)
