Writing a Report
During your studies you may be required to research a particular area and produce a report. For
instance, depending on your area of study, you might be asked to write a report on the performance
characteristics of an aircraft engine, the classroom management practices of a teacher, the cost
benefits of using a particular type of software in a company, etc.
Some of the reasons we write reports are to:
• inform
• make proposals or recommendations for change
• analyse and solve problems
• present the findings of an investigation or project
• record progress
Your lecturer or teacher will usually provide you with the following information:
• the topic or subject of the report
• the required length and due date
• a clear idea of its purpose and who will read it
• the format headings to be used and their order.
Steps in writing the report
Writing your report is an ongoing process of writing and re-writing. Therefore, it's important to
realise that you don't need to begin at the introduction and write until you get to the conclusion.
Often the body is written first. Also, you're not expected to produce the perfect report the first time
you put pen to paper - expect to have to redraft your report.
A useful writing process for longer reports is to:
• organise your information
• write an outline
• write a first draft
• re-write to improve the draft
• edit and proofread
You'll also need to consider the presentation of the report, in particular:
• format and layout
• inclusion of graphics and visuals

You can personally design a report based on a database or query selecting fields you want to add, order the fields to your liking, select a layout for the report and a style which fits the tone of your report. You can then design the report further in the design view.
An unbound format report refers to a type of report layout in a database application where data is not directly tied to a specific layout structure. Instead, it allows for more flexibility in how data is presented, providing greater control over the design and appearance of the report. Users can place data fields, labels, and other design elements wherever they choose on the report, making it easier to customize and format the report as needed.
