Writing two reports

SOME GROUND RULES

Word counts.

You will write two reports for this course. Each writing assignment has a minimum word count in

order to meet the University writing requirement for this course. Failure to meet the minimum word

count on either assignment will result in failing this course. (See writing assignment instructions for

minimum word counts.)

Improving your writing through feedback.

Both reports require you to write a draft and a final version. You will receive feedback on your draft

to help you write a better final version.

Improving your writing through peer review.

For both reports, you will read the drafts and final reports of your fellow students and provide

meaningful feedback on their writing. Evaluating other people’s reports teaches you what makes a

good or a bad report. Use this experience to improve your own writing.
