How to write a  REPORT
In writing a report there are some issues that should be taken into consideration:

• audience: Who is the report for?
• organization: How are you going to organize the material?
• layout: What headings and subheadings are relevant?
• introduction and conclusion: How is the first paragraph introducing the topics that are going to be reported? Is a conclusion necessary? Have you succeeded in summarizing the most important issues?
• sources: What sources have you conculted? Have you cited them appropriately? (see entry below for APA Citation Rules)

There are different types of reports. Click on the following links to obtain more information: Study Skills Centre, student services, Vanier College


If you click on the case study report from Monash University (Australia) and the famous Flo-Joe's site for Cambridge exams, you will find two interesting interactive samples with relevant comments and corrections. Really useful!!
