Many sections ask us to provide more workshops on report writing. Translators find reports that are written in an unclear manner impossible to translate and everyone has an idea that there is some magical formula. Having talked to many departments about this, I have come to the conclusion that there are many valid models and that the course available online and written in New York does a good job. It can be found at the following link and I recommend anyone teaching report writing to have a look at it.
