Written assignments prepared by students in Greek universities mainly focus on the content, due to the fact that the traditional approach to grading emphasises on the content of learning and rarely includes other quality factors of an academic written report. As a result, less value is attached to factors such as text structuring, spelling and syntax, text format, etc., namely to what is generally called as ‘academic writing’. On the contrary, more ‘formal’ texts (e.g. theses and doctoral dissertations) have high quality standards. Namely, when students produce formal pieces of work they must meet the requirements of an academic text, while this does not always apply to class-level assignments. This however creates an inconsistency: how are students required to write a complete report at the end of their studies, when no action has been taken to help them practice this skill during their studies? Therefore, the following short notes are prepared for students of a Greek Technical University School, where students have to prepare a written report for the needs of the course Decision Support Systems (6th semester course). The notes are in Greek.
