How to write a report paper in a week
A report paper is similar, but significantly different, to a research paper. Where a research paper will require you to go in depth investigating a topic, a report paper will analyze the methods you used in your investigation. You will talk about a topic, and you will talk about how you came up with your answers. They shouldn’t be too difficult to do, and if you follow these steps you’ll get it done in no time:
- Discuss Your Methods
- Why?
- Stay Objective
- Stay Focused
- Discuss Your Methods
- Why?
- Stay Objective
- Stay Focused
A great place to start with a report is to talk about how you did the research. What sources id you use, where did you go to find them, what problems did you face? Did you use the internet or your local library? Which sources worked and which ones didn’t? Did you find it tougher than you had thought you would, or did you fly through it? These questions are great for your report, as they not only analyze the topic, but they make it that bit more personable too. Show your reader that you aren’t a drone that you actually put in all the work and for a reason.
Talk about why you chose that subject and why it matters to you. IS the topic close to your heart? Have you always had an interest in it? Talk about how the subject matter impacts the wider world and various ways it has been interpreted, and then talk a little about what ways you interpreted it. Remember, you’ve probably already done the research, or at least others have. You aren’t trying to convince anyone one way or another, you’re just showing you know what’s been done and how you know it.
You don’t need to have an opinion when it comes to a report. This can make your life an awful lot easier. All you need to do it outline the facts; who said what, where and when. Show that you understand the piece, but don’t worry about heart and minds. Leave that up to the research papers. As for you, just write about what you did during your investigation of the topic and you’ll be fine.
Mostly, a successful report simply requires dedication. Keep in mind what you’re trying to do. Don’t get sidetracked and don’t stop writing. If you stick to these points, you’ll have it done in a matter of days with all that stress lifted off your shoulders.
