Concepts:
In academia there is some overlap between reports and essays, and the two words
are sometimes
Used interchangeably, but reports are more likely to be needed for business, scientific
and technical subjects, and in the workplace.
Whereas an essay presents arguments and reasoning, a report concentrates on facts.
Essentially, a report is a short, sharp, concise document which is written for a
particular purpose and audience. It generally sets outs and analyses a situation or
problem, often making recommendations for future action. It is a factual paper, and
needs to be clear and well-structured.
Requirements for the precise form and content of a report will vary between
organizations
and departments and in study between courses, from tutor to tutor, as well as between
subjects, so it’s worth finding out if there are any specific guidelines before you start.
