The Formal Report assignment is based on a scenario that establishes a writing situation that requires research. As our book chapters on reports indicate, good planning is required in order to produce a quality report.

When offering information for the Work Plan, please be as specific as possible.

· Large scale copying and pasting from your sources is NOT acceptable, nor is it good report writing.
