The intention of this resource is to provide you with enough information to produce a high quality reports and literature reviews.
You may need to produce several small reports during the course of your undergraduate study as part of group coursework assignments. This guide along with other provide support.
In this presentation, aimed at students in engineering, science and technology, I present some personal thoughts on what is expected in a technical report. Aimed particularly at students about to write their first lab report, it also contains useful information for students who need to write a dissertation or a software design document. It relects what I like to see in a report when I am marking it, but some of the principles are general I think. Within the constraints of the medium, I have also tried to present this it in much the same way that I would expect a report to be presented. Comments welcome.

Requirements for Secondary Research Project
Learning Objectives
and Project Overview
In this project, you'll do secondary research to "find out what the experts
say" about a workplace problem or challenge. Then you'll apply the
Spence Method as you synthesize information from various sources to
write compelling and richly detailed article for your readers. The subject
matter will be one of the issues that you wrote about in your Client
Interview Article.
The audience will be either the client you interviewed or people in the
same job role as the interviewee.
This project includes these assignments:
• Project Proposal Pitch (Due Week 3)
• Synthesis Matrix (Due Week 4)
• Research Report – preliminary draft (Due Week 4) and final
draft) (Due Week 5)
Requirements for
Project Proposal Pitch
Write a 300-word pitch to the instructor discussing the specific topic you
will write about and the specific reader (client or job role) that you will
address. Explain why this topic is important and relevant to this audience
at this time.
To provide the instructor with insight into the timeliness of this issue,
include a 100-word summary of an article that was published about this
topic within the past 3 years.
Topic for Your
Research Report
Choose a timely and specific problem or challenge facing people in the
same job role as the interviewee for your Client Interview. The topic
must be specific and actionable, not a broad subject such as "leadership"
or "fundraising" but a specific problem or challenge faced by people in
that job role.
The paper must explain the problem or challenge and must offer specific
solutions that are actionable by the reader. The paper must not merely
explore the topic or present solutions that are outside the scope of the
person's job role ("the government should...," "society will has to
change...," "universities need to offer...," or "technology needs to be
developed...").
The best reports will present information from current articles, webinars,
and conference presentations intended for people in this job role or
industry.
Audience for Your
Researched Report
Your document must address people in a specific job role, such as
"biomedical engineer" or "technical writer," not "the general public," not
"government officials," not "professors and students").
Purpose of Your
Researched Report
The reader is looking for information and advice about this topic. Your
position statement will be something like "people in ________ (specific
job role) can address the problem of ________ by ________ (doing
what?)."

### The Evolution and Impact of Cricket: A Comprehensive Analysis
#### Introduction
Cricket, a sport that began as a pastime in the fields of England, has grown into a global phenomenon that captivates millions. Its evolution from a rudimentary bat-and-ball game to a sophisticated sport played in various formats reflects the dynamic nature of its history. This essay delves into the historical development, cultural significance, economic impact, and contemporary issues facing cricket, providing a thorough understanding of this beloved sport.
#### Historical Development
##### Origins and Early Development
Cricket's origins are somewhat obscure, but it is widely accepted that the game began in the south-east of England during the 16th century. Early references to the game, then known as "creckett," suggest it was initially played by children. By the 17th century, cricket had gained popularity among adults, and village matches became common.
The 18th century marked a significant period in cricket's development. The establishment of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in 1787 and the formulation of the Laws of Cricket provided a structured framework that facilitated the sport's standardization and growth. These laws, albeit with numerous amendments over the centuries, still govern the game today.
##### Expansion and Globalization
The 19th century was pivotal for cricket's expansion beyond England. The British Empire played a crucial role in spreading the sport to its colonies, including India, Australia, the Caribbean, and South Africa. Cricket became a symbol of British culture, often associated with the ideals of sportsmanship and fair play.
Test cricket, the longest form of the game, emerged during this period. The first officially recognized Test match was played between England and Australia in 1877. This format established cricket as a serious and strategic sport, requiring not only physical skill but also mental resilience and tactical acumen.
The 20th century witnessed further global expansion and the birth of international competitions. The Imperial Cricket Conference (now the International Cricket Council or ICC) was founded in 1909 to oversee international cricket relations and competitions. The establishment of the ICC World Cup in 1975 introduced the One Day International (ODI) format, which significantly increased the game's appeal by offering a more concise and dynamic version of cricket.
#### Cultural Significance
##### National Identity and Unity
Cricket has played a substantial role in shaping national identities, particularly in countries where it is the dominant sport. In India, for instance, cricket transcends regional, linguistic, and religious differences, acting as a unifying force. Icons like Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli are not merely sports figures but national heroes who symbolize aspiration and excellence.
In the Caribbean, cricket has been a critical element of post-colonial identity. The success of the We

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. What is a report?
A report is a major form of business
/professional /technical communication.
A report can be a description of an event
by a person who witnessed it to
somebody else who was not actually
present on the scene. A report is factual
writing, is formal in nature and is written
for a specific purpose or specific
audience.
Source: Oxford Technical Communication by Meenakshi Raman & Sangeeta Sharma
4. Objectives
The purposes of writing reports vary widely.
Following are some of the important purposes of
reports:
• To present a record of accomplished work (Project work).
• To record research findings or technical specifications.
(Details of a new product).
• To document current status (An inspection report).
• To record an experiment (Laboratory report).
• To present information to a large number of people
(Annual report).
• To recommend actions useful in solving certain problems
(recommendatory report).

of reporting, reports can be classified as
follows:
• Informative, Analytical (Purpose)
• Periodic, Special (Frequency)
• Oral, Written (Mode of presentation)
Source: Oxford Technical Communication by Meenakshi Raman & Sangeeta Sharma
6. Periodic and Special Reports
Periodic reports are either informational or
analytical in their purpose. As they are
prepared and presented at regular, prescribed
intervals, they are called periodic or routine
reports.
Special reports are related to a single
occasion or situation. A report on feasibility of
opening a new branch, or the causes behind
the recent fire incidents in a factory are special
reports. Special reports deal with non-
recurrent problems.

mode of presentation.
Oral Reports
Immediate feedback is
possible.
Audience needs to
comprehend quickly when
these are presented.
It cannot be referred to
again and again.
It has less professional
value.
Written Reports
Immediate feedback is not
possible.
Audience can ponder over
these reports and
understand at their own
pace.
It can be edited, reviewed
or stored.
It has more professional
value.
