2. What problem are you solving?
• Now that you’ve laid out the facts and presented the data, you have to
analyze the information so you can make a decision regarding your topic.
• This often involves comparing and contrasting items, processes, devices, etc.
• Remember, you are trying to solve a problem. What does the ideal solution
look like?
• Compare your possible solutions based on your criteria for success. Dig into
the Selection Matrix to extract meaning, draw a useful conclusion.

3. Comparison Analysis
• Comparison analysis can be found
anywhere in a report, sometimes in
a required section, sometimes
throughout the paper
• The rationale section often contains
some elements of comparison

4. Language for comparison analysis
• Comparison analysis requires
specific language tools.
• Review these sentence models
adapted from COMM1010.
• Then read the model Comparison
section to see how these structures
can be used to analyze solutions
and criteria

10. Choose a Method of Development
• For recommendation reports,
the best structure for analysis
is often Point-by-Point (see
model Comparison below)
• This method focuses attention
on the criteria
• The Block method can also be
effective (see model TOC below)
Criteria X
Criteria Y
Criteria Z
Solution A
Solution B

11. • Block Method can provide a
simpler, more organized
structure
• Some students find this
method helps them control
their ideas
Criteria XYZ
Criteria XYZ
Solution A
Solution B Choose a Pattern

12. Model
Study this model Comparison Section carefully:
• Notice effective use of Point-by-Point method
• Notice effective introductory set-up statements
• Notice useful comparison-contrast language structures
• Notice attention to technical detail
• all criteria are thoroughly discussed
• data is clearly compared
• many students lose points for lazy, vague, technically
unsophisticated, grade-8-level, junk analysis – don’t
be that student

13. Model Thesis
… This report will compare two common RR monitoring
methods, capnography and pulse oximetry, which will be
evaluated based on cost, complexity of set-up and use, and
accuracy. Pulse oximetry will be recommended as the most
suitable method for use at the UDST nursing station.
