Summary of Technical Report Writing class

In the second class of Technical Report Writing (HU-201), the first thing sir asked us was to write one page paragraph of what we had discussed in the previous class in 10 minutes.  Although all of us started writing the paragraph but we neglected the important part of writing a report. The mistake was due to lack of information as we didn't know the important aspects of technical writing. After some display of the task sir told us three parts of writing: 1) Business writing 2) Technical writing 3) Academic writing, there were some discussion related to those topics and their differences. There was also a discussion about how to start a report whether a writer should think first then write a report or should he think will writing a report. Within those discussion sir told us about three important part how a writer should write his report;

1) Audiences: A writer should know what kind of audiences will be reading his report and how should he present it to them.

2) Object: A writer should be clear to what message he is trying to deliver to the audience in his report.

3) Conclusion: A writer report should not be based on facts but should be based on a conclusion. There must be a conclusion in the end of the report.

Sir also told us that before writing a report we should first make a writing draft that contains all the heading and main point of our report. The lecture ended while sir was explaining us about a Technique called Drilled down.
