ABSTRACT

Now that you have done all the hard work of gathering data and processing it in order to generate valid evidence, you need to present the work in a form that is going to serve your particular purposes as well as represent your work authentically. For most people, this means producing a report which will contain their claim that they have improved their personal professional situation in some way. Before we discuss the different kinds of report you may produce, it is worth considering how different forms of representation may communicate messages for different purposes.
