The document outlines 14 steps for writing a clearly written technical paper, including:
1. Complete the first draft except for the introduction and conclusion.
2. Organize ideas in the correct order so each section logically follows from the previous.
3. Use transitions between ideas to guide the reader.
4. Ensure each paragraph has a single main point stated in the first sentence.
5. Simplify sentences and reduce abstract words to improve clarity and readability.
A technical report (also: scientific report) is a document that describes the process, progress, or results of technical or scientific research or the state of a technical or scientific research problem!!!!!!
Guidelines for the production of scientific and technical reports: how to write and distribute grey literature -hmftj
What is technical writing, and how does it fit into your content marketing strategy? Businesses with specialized products and services typically need to hire technical writers to create customer-friendly documents.
One motivating factor for this is that you can reduce support costs and enhance the client experience through easy-to-follow guides and manuals.
Simplifying sophisticated concepts for audiences of different knowledge levels is a specialized task. Technical writers transform material often considered dry into engaging content that informs, attracts, and retains customers.
Technical writers apply their deep understanding to convey complex information to a defined audience. They write user guides, case studies, white papers, blogs, marketing materials, and other types of content.
A good report is easy to recognize. Its title is precise and informative and its format logical to the reader, with headings to indicate the content of each section. Diagrams are well-presented and clearly labelled. There are no absolute rules on report production because every report must be adapted to the needs of its reader. This guide, however, suggests that there are laws of good report writing which should be generally applied. If participants keep these rules in mind; their reports are more likely to attract readers, directing them towards relevant, clear information and steer them towards the desired response. Taking shortcuts to save time and money are counterproductive if the reader is left confused by the report or decides it’s too difficult to work out what you are trying to say.

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

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.

4. Sentence Structure
– Work on the sentences to reduce the fog index F = 0.4(L + P).
o L = (Avg # of words)/sentence
o P = (Avg # of Polysyllables)/(100 words of text)
Polysyllables - A word with 3 or more syllables (Cat, Alphabet)
o F = 10 – 15 is recommended.
– Example:
o Fog Index = 35:
In order to eliminate the possibility of errors occurring in the time charges relating to engineering jobs
through transposition of numbers or typing errors, each of the Division Planning Offices should set up
a file of time cards showing all authorized project numbers and make a daily check of the charges on
all time sheets forwarded to the Accounting Department to be sure that only authorized numbers are
used.
1 sentence, 69 words, 13 polysyllables
o Fog Index = 11:
It is easy to transpose digits and make typing errors when entering project numbers. We suggest each
Division Planning Office set up a file of time cards showing all authorized project numbers. Then all
charges should be checked each day before sending time sheets to the Accounting Department.”

6. Get rid of as many passive verbs as possible
– The data were measured and the results were correlated.
– We measured the data and correlated the results.
7. Use verbs more than nouns

o “The annual report produced a disappointed reaction from the sponsor.”
o Revision: “The annual report disappointed the sponsor.
– Example 2:
o “It is our expectation that we will see radiation pattern improvement when the antenna is elevated.”
o Revision: “We expect to improve the radiation pattern by elevating the antenna.”
8. Avoid abstract words
– Better if you use specific words instead of abstract words.
– Example:
o We determined the conditions for performance improvement.
o We measured the noise variance necessary to increase the bit error probability by 5 percent.
