This checklist is a great way to make sure you have included the necessary features in your report.
Check that your report has the following features:
Are all parts of your assignment task covered? In relevant sections?
Have you used conventional report format and structure?
Are there well-structured sections where the information is organised logically under content headings? Do headings clearly indicate the ideas that follow?
Are there clear headings and sub-headings for each section? Have you used heading styles to format the headings?
Are there clear, structured paragraphs?
Is there a **title page** that includes title of the report, your name and student number, name of the course and date?
Do you have a **table of contents** with page numbers?
Is there an **executive summary** or **abstract** that summarises the whole report?
Does the **introduction** outline the context, background and purpose of the report?
Is there a **method** section where the research techniques used are clearly explained?
Do you have a **results/findings** section that presents and summarises your findings?
Is there a **discussion** section explaining and interpreting the results?
Does the **conclusion** sum up what was covered and contain the ‘answer’? No new information?
Do you have **recommendations** that suggest possible future actions or solutions? (may use bullets here)
Have you included a **reference list** that includes all references used in your report, in the appropriate style?
Have you included extra information in **an appendix/appendices**?
