Assessment report как написать

Общая структура доклада

Доклад состоит из трёх частей: вступление, основная часть и заключение. Основная часть делится, в свою очередь, еще на несколько частей (как правило, 2–3). При этом и сам доклад, и все его части должны иметь заголовки. Также можно включить дату, расположив её под заголовком доклада. Например:

Subject: Changing Compliment Patterns in Disney Movies

Date: 18th January 2017

Purpose

(под этим заголовком располагается вступление)

Changes (вместо слова ‘changes’ нужно подставить свой заголовок)

(под этим заголовком располагается первая половина основной части)

Reasons (вместо слова ‘reasons’ нужно подставить свой заголовок)

(под этим заголовком располагается вторая половина основной части)

Conclusion

(под этим заголовком располагается заключение)

Примечания: вместо слова ‘purpose’ можно писать ‘introduction’. Вместо слова ‘conclusion’ можно писать ‘recommendation’, если вы пишете доклад-рекомендацию. На олимпиадах писать дату обычно не требуется. Можно переходить ко вступлению сразу после строки, на которой написана тема. Также не обязательно писать в теме слово Subject. Можно просто написать саму тему.

Вступление

Главная задача вступления в докладе — дать читателю понять, о чём будет доклад и с какой целью он написан. Если вы собираетесь описывать какие-нибудь меняющиеся показатели и объяснять причины изменений, то так и говорите во вступлении: «Цель доклада — обозначить изменения и объяснить их причины». Говорить нужно максимально по делу, без абстрактных рассуждений.

Разберем пример. Вам дали табличку, в которой представлены результаты некоего опроса о местном ресторане, и нужно написать по ней доклад. Неправильное вступление в формате report будет звучать так: 

  • Eating out is a very popular way of spending free time. Many people in our district often visit a local restaurant — the Ivy, which provides them with both food and pleasant atmosphere.

Это вступление является неподходящим, потому что мы уходим в абстрактные рассуждения (они годятся для эссе) и описания (они годятся для статей). Подходящее для формата report вступление будет звучать так:

  • The aim of this report is to analyse the results of a survey in which 250 residents were questioned about the local Ivy restaurant. Basing on this analysis, the report provides recommendations on how to improve the service at the restaurant.

В этом вступлении мы сразу переходим к делу и явным образом указываем, о чем будет доклад. 

Основная часть

В основной части вы выполняете изложенные в задании требования. Если нужно сравнить данные двух таблиц — сравниваете, если нужно объяснить причины изменений — объясняете, если нужно проанализировать диаграммы — анализируете. При этом необходимо не просто перечислять факты один за другим, а структурировать, группировать информацию. Структурирование и группирование делает информацию проще для восприятия и благотворно влияет на баллы как за содержательную, так и за организационную часть. 

Информация без группирования и анализа (просто перечислили цифры из табличек с заданием, потеряли баллы за организацию и содержание):

  • In 2000 60% of schoolchildren traveled for tourist purposes, 25% did that to attend summer language courses, and only 15% had higher education among their travelling goals. In 2014 about 28% became interested in higher education, 38% wanted to attend summer language courses and only 34% travelled for pleasure.

Группированная информация с анализом (не просто перечислили цифры, а подумали, как связаны между собой 2000 и 2014 год, что и обобщили в тексте): 

  • While in 2000 the principal reason for going abroad was tourism (at 60%), its role plummeted to only 34% in 2014. In contrast, educational purposes significance rose by approximately 10%, reaching 28% for higher education and 38% for summer language courses. 

Заключение

Задача заключения — подвести итоги, суммировать всю изложенную информацию. В зависимости от того, какой у вас доклад, может также потребоваться выразить своё мнение или дать рекомендацию. Не пишите одно и то же шаблонное заключение к разным докладам — оно во многих случаях просто не выполнит своей функции. Как и в случае со вступлением, нужно писать по делу, не уходя в отвлеченные рассуждения.

Такое заключение не подойдет по формату (потому что содержит не относящиеся к делу общие рассуждения):

  • To sum it all up, restaurants are an integral part of our life and the Ivy restaurant is not an exception. Although not everyone is satisfied with it, it still remains an attractive way to spend an evening with a friend.

А такое подойдет (потому что в нем все по делу): 

  • All points considered, some improvements evidently need to be made if clients are to be fully satisfied with the service provided by the restaurant.

Стиль

Доклад пишется в формальном стиле. Следует заменять простые структуры более сложными, использовать продвинутую лексику, страдательный залог, подходящие средства логической связи. Не должно быть разговорных выражений и сокращений.

  • The service there is so cool! The waiters are very polite. 
  • The majority of those surveyed find the service at the restaurant excellent and note the politeness of the waiters. 

Пример работы в формате report

Напишем ответ на такое задание:

Imagine that you are a linguist doing research into the dialogues in children’s animated films. You have collected some data on the ways female characters are complimented (see the charts below). Write a brief report describing the changes you have noticed comparing Disney movies over the years.

Write 220–250 words.

Use the following plan:

  • make an opening statement;
  • give some general information outlining the trend, analyze the information given in the charts;
  • suggest possible reasons for the changes happening;
  • make a conclusion.

Report 1

Первое, что необходимо сделать — внимательно рассмотреть графики. Как только мы это сделаем, так сразу поймём, что есть две четко прослеживающиеся тенденции: комплиментов о внешности становится всё меньше, комплиментов о навыках и умениях — всё больше.

Уловив общее направление, найдем заметные, отличающиеся от остальных точки. Например, Snow White — ни одного комплимента, касающегося умений, зато 83% — о внешности. Pocahontas — первый женский персонаж в истории Диснея, у которого комплиментов о внешности меньше, чем комплиментов о талантах. Brave — максимальное количество комплиментов об умениях и навыках за всю историю. В общем, отмечаем для себя всё то, что сразу бросается в глаза. Причём отмечаем не в голове, а на бумаге:

Дальше мы видим, что временная шкала разделена на три периода: Classic Era, Renaissance, New Age. Эти периоды помогут в структурировании информации о комплиментах, так что берем их на заметку.

Проведя таким образом первичный анализ графиков, мы переходим к составлению плана (подробно о составлении плана можно почитать в статье «Как составить план?»). Для составления плана нам нужно понять, как группировать информацию. Разумеется, в отдельные абзацы выйдут вступление и заключение. Также отдельным абзацем будут причины изменений. Что касается описания самих изменений, тут единственно верного варианта нет, организовывать можно по-разному. Например, разбить описание на два абзаца: skills compliments, appearance compliments. Можно разбить на три, в соответствии с периодами: Classic Era, Renaissance, New Age. Можно вообще не разбивать.

Выбирая способ группировки, нужно помнить о лимите на количество слов. В данном задании мы ограничены 250 словами. Из них около 80 уйдёт на вступление с заключением. Останется примерно 170 слов на основную часть. Если мы выберем вариант описания по периодам, то абзацев в основной части будет четыре: три для периодов и один для описания причин изменений. То есть, в одном абзаце получится всего лишь около 40 слов. Писать такие короткие, но при этом логически безупречные и информативные абзацы весьма непросто. Поэтому целесообразнее будет не дробить на мелкие кусочки, а остановиться на более крупных частях.

Я выберу вариант разделения основной части всего на два абзаца: изменения и их причины. Плюс такого способа я вижу в том, что расположение всех изменений в одном абзаце даст мне возможность активно сравнивать их между собой.

Отражаем все наши мысли в базовом плане:

Когда базовый план готов, можно писать черновик, если на это хватает времени. Если времени мало, лучше детализировать план и, используя этот план, писать работу сразу начисто.

Напишем вступление. Во вступлении нужно обозначить цели и содержание доклада. Также нужно обозначить, откуда взялись данные, которые мы будем описывать.

The linguistic analysis of the dialogues from 12 Disney movies appearing over the period 1937–2013 has revealed certain alterations in the nature of the compliments paid to female characters. This report aims at outlining the discovered changes and explaining the reasons behind them.

Теперь напишем об изменениях. Для этого будем действовать по схеме обобщения и детализации. Как написано у нас в плане, в классических мультфильмах большинство комплиментов относится ко внешности. Примером служит Sleeping Beauty. Так и пишем:

In classic Disney animated films female characters receive several times the amount of praise for their appearance as for their skills and abilities. For instance, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty have respectively 83% and 58% compliments related to the way they look.

Проделываем аналогичную операцию со следующим периодом. Сначала обобщенно говорим о тенденции, потом даём пример:

The same trend generally remains during the renaissance Disney period, although it must be noted that it is then that a character appears (namely Pocahontas, 1995), who is given credit for her skills rather than attractiveness.

С последним периодом поступаем точно так же.

In most recent films the role of beauty-related compliments is noticeably lower — 20% on average, while showing respect for competence has risen in frequency, making up almost half of the total compliments in every film since 2009.

Обратите внимание, что хотя общая схема одинакова, при описании мы используем разные языковые структуры: several times the amount, respectively, the same trend remains, noticeably lower, on average, has risen in frequency. Чем они разнообразнее, тем выше будет оценена работа.

Также необходимо всеми силами избегать повторов. Например, чтобы не писать всё время ‘compliments on appearance’, мы используем синонимы: praise for their appearance, compliments related to the way they look, given credit, attractiveness, beauty-related compliments.

Следующий пункт — описание причин изменений. Это принципиально другой по своей сути текст. В отличие от предыдущего абзаца, он не просто передаёт объективные факты, взятые из графиков, а отражает личное мнение автора. Однако несмотря на это, он должен быть максимально обезличен в соответствии с особенностями формата report.

Differing compliment patterns might have been caused by the changing perception of women’s role in society. When a woman was primarily regarded as wife and mother, her value was mostly based on appearance. A shift towards engagement in activities other than household and motherhood was, in its turn, naturally followed by the increase in ability-related compliments.

Пассивные конструкции ‘might have been caused’, ‘was naturally followed’ позволяют добиться этого обезличивания.

Осталось написать заключение. Подведем итоги всему вышесказанному, кратко обозначив, что изменилось и почему.

To conclude, the quality of the compliments given to female characters in Disney movies has significantly altered, reflecting the ways the societal values have transformed over the past 76 years.

Наш report готов. Не забываем писать заголовки к каждому абзацу, а также к самому докладу.

Подводные камни

Очень распространённая ошибка при написании доклада — несоответствие стиля. Использование личных местоимений (I think, I consider), сокращений (it’s, hasn’t), слишком простых предложений и разговорной лексики пагубно отражается на качестве доклада и на количестве получаемых за него баллов.

What is a Writing Assessment Report?

Writing assessment is the assistance that is given to students in grading them in their writing courses. It can be used in different purposes. It is done for the classroom or it can certify proficiency for the students that can be used on the outside. It is also used in grading the students for award purposes. This context has some sound principles on how the grade can be given. Usually, there is a writing assessment report that is done with it. A writing assessment report is the sum of the observation about the evaluation report of the writing ability of a student. The report tells the result of the measure of skills that is illustrated in writing. The written literacy is being evaluated by the current teachers and sometimes by future teachers that reinforce teaching practices on language learning. This report is important because we can discover our capacities that we actually have in writing. The criteria can give some reflection of the nature of our writing, whether it is good or bad. The report will be a performance review for our writing, showing how skilled we are in this thing. Peers can also give us an assessment and sometimes, self-assessment is possible. The assessment is a test that can assert whether we have enough ability to write effectively. That is why a writing assessment report is necessary in all writing and rhetoric courses.

Principles in Writing Assessment

There are some rules in giving an assessment report in writing. You will need to have some guide that you can use in assessing the writing skills of every student. Here are some principles that you need to follow:

Improvement of Teaching and Learning

The writing assessment’s first use is to go further with the teaching and learning. It should give implementation and dissemination on its outcome. It has curricular objectives that are influenced by the evaluation. Teachers should maintain the assessment in the context of its department. The objectives should give an assessment information that can give changes to writing practices. The evaluation practices should not have external pressures. The local community is the one that should give the evaluation materials and the assessment criteria. The student can expect professional opportunities after the assessment has been done.

Social Responsibility of Assessment

The assessment should lead to a meaningful writing. It should contextualize its purpose. The students and stakeholders should get a clear assessment. It should support research and should give harmony to the best ways in teaching writing skills. In assessment, you must consider the human readers. You should have discussion and you should seek feedback from others. Direct evaluation should give formative purposes. Every writer should know how to form ideas well. They should be organized, knowing how to make good sentences and knowing how to edit and proofread.

Sum of the Writing Ability

The writing skills of an individual has a diverse context. You must use different measures in your evaluation. Even with the performance review, you can see that every individual’s capacity is different. Also, one example of writing do not mean that it is the whole ability of a student. Assess writing using many pieces, with multiple genre, done using a variety of occasions, and with different target readers. Have respect to language and know that criteria vary with every purposes. Standardized tests deal with grammar and style rather than choices in rhetoric. So, consider the sum of the writing skills of the students.

Nature of Methods and Criteria

The consortium is the community of administrators who have knowledge in the context of assessment. All the tests should be designed and developed locally. The nature of the writing practices should not be distorted. Assess the ability of the piece to target various audiences. Consider the ability to have many sources, to make a multi-media example, and to use texts and images. Values should also affect the assessment. Help the students to demonstrate where they are best at writing.

Latest Research Assessment

It should have the latest approach when it comes to cost and benefits. Do not make an inexpensive and quick assessment. Learning and professional development can be the investments that you can get from direct assessment. Make the writing to be always on review and be cognizant of research and latest developments.

Benefits of Writing Assessment Report

As a teacher, you can properly advise them in the report the things that they can do. There, they will know where they have erred and they can do better next time.Your school can produce the best writers. Assessment can be the best tool that you can use to develop the language learning in your school or college.

How to Write a Writing Assessment Report

An assessment report sample or assessment report sample for students can make you to write a writing assessment report. But in case you do not have examples to use, you can use the following steps in making a writing assessment report:

Step 1: Check the portfolio.

Conduct a portfolio assessment so that you can assess the true writing skills of the students. Course portfolio may consists multiple writing examples from students and it can help you to evaluate their skills. One single piece of writing is not enough to grade a student’s ability. You may need more work so you can decide better. Ask for reflective letters or essays that can describe their capacity. The portfolio should consist of final drafts. The students can submit a printed portfolio or an electronic portfolio. The advantage of an electronic portfolio is that it has hyperlinks that can enhance their works. After the student submitted a portfolio, check it carefully and use the assessment criteria so that you can evaluate it rightfully.

Step 2: Give a timed-essay.

If you want to have an actual test of the ability of the students, you can give a timed-essay exam that can bring out their writing skills. Choose a good topic or subject for the essay. Give a word count for the essay, something that will be enough for the time that you will give. Before the student will start writing, you can tell them the criteria that you will use in grading the essay. Give enough time for the students to write at their best. After the test, you can use it with their portfolio to have a writing assessment for them. You have two best resources that you can use for assessment. One that can showcase their versatility, and one that mirrors their true skills. With the two resources, you may have enough evidence for their writing abilities.

Step 3: Use a rubric.

Rubric is a good thing that you can use in writing assessment. It includes criteria that can guide you on how to rate a writer. Even in the 20th century, rubrics are used to standardize education. There are five factors in rubric that is used in writing assessment. They are the following:

  • Ideas – The relevance of the writing will be defined according to the topic. Persuasiveness is considered and the writing should be clear.
  • Wording – You will rate the writing according to the choice of words and how the students arranged each sentences. You will rate the flow of sentences, whether they are written in a good way.
  • Form – The way that the ideas are organized will also be graded. The writing should have right and proper analysis that is related to the topic.
  • Mechanics – Of course, there is a criteria where you will grade the grammar and punctuation of the writing. It should be free from all errors or it can affect the rate that you can give for it.
  • Style – You will rate the way on how the students write the concept. You will also grade the sincerity of the writing piece and the interests that it can share.

Step 4: Evaluate the writing piece.

The purpose of written assessment is to evaluate the skills of students. Any types of written assessment can be evaluated better after having the rubric and the materials that you have to evaluate. Using all the criteria, make an accurate assessment after reading the written pieces that the students have made. Evaluate the portfolio and grade the creative side of the students with the test. You can tell their performance through the pieces that they have submitted. Make a performance review using the resources that you have and rate them according to a rubric that can help you in assessment. Then, prepare a document and start to make a report about your assessment. Include the rate that you have come up with and put some feedback that can be helpful for the students. Read the report and ensure that it meets the standard of language learning. After you see that everything is fine, you can give the assessment to the faculty.

Skill assessment

But once you’ve conducted the assessment, how can you easily convert the results into a good-looking, informative report for your respondents? That’s exactly what this article will teach you, including real-life examples you can steal 😉  

But let’s start with some boring stuff–definitions.

An assessment evaluates a person or an organization using a series of questions. The answers are used to calculate a score, categorization or another type of outcome that provides value for the respondent.

There are many types of assessments, categorized by industry, objectives, methodology, etc. Have a look at this guide to select the right assessment tool for your business.

An assessment report will give respondents clear insights into their profile, company or situation and provide relevant recommendations.

This is made possible by formulas and calculations behind the preset questions in the assessment. They will turn the answers into tangible results, presented in the assessment report in the form of text, numbers, graphs, charts and other representations.

Let’s say you are a marketing consultant asking your client about their current marketing strategy. What are their objectives? Which marketing tools do they currently use? How much do they want to spend on marketing activities such as ads?

Based on their answers, you’ll get a first glance at their situation and be able to map out a strategy that you can present to them by showing them a personalized report, as if it were created especially for them.

I will rate every report example in terms of several criteria. Use this checklist to determine for yourself which report suits your purposes best.

Checklist



  • Design: Is there a front page, a standard header, visuals, …? Are all of these components designed in a coherent structure? Is the report constructed within a clearly defined (branding) style? What about the quality of the visuals? Is the resolution satisfying?


  • Introduction: Is the report clear about the objectives? Does it state what the reader can expect to read in the report? What will he/she learn? What method is used? How is the report structured?


  • Readability: Is the report easy to read? Is there an optimal balance between text, graphs and visuals? Does the report make use of columns?


  • Personalization: To what extent is the feedback personalized? Is the reader addressed by name? Do the results reflect his/her answers? Are personal recommendations included? How are they presented?


  • Model/methodology: What methodology is used in the report?
    Is the methodology applied consequently throughout the report?


  • External resources: Does your report link to external sources or benchmarks? Are the respondent’s results compared to industry benchmarks or other reference numbers?

1. The Table Group

Company

The Table Group is a firm dedicated to making companies more successful and making work more fulfilling.

Assessment report

The primary purpose of this team assessment report is to provide your team with a sense of its strengths and areas for improvement. While the assessment itself is certainly quantitative and data-driven, its most important aspect is the qualitative perspective it provides for the assessed team and the discussion that it provokes around specific issues.

Rating

🤩🤩🤩🤩

Strengths and weaknesses

🟢 This report gives the respondents a clear understanding of what they may expect to read and learn thanks to the introduction and explanation of the used model.  

The Table Group kicks off the report by presenting a summary of the findings, before going into more detail. This is a strong way to encourage the team to read on and discover why the results are the way they are.

🔴 The balance between text and visuals on the first pages leans towards text-heaviness, which is not helpful for readability. Images, graphics and examples could bring solace to the reader. 

The same problem occurs later on in the report, where the results are discussed in more detail. It would be more illustrative to the reader if the variables in the result tables are presented in the form of charts. This improves the comparability of the different areas. 

For example, the table “Areas of Key Differences” could be accompanied by a pie chart. These charts are used to represent the composition of an entity or group—in this case, the team and the different answers of the team members.

For feedback, the report refers in each category to the “Tips and Exercises” section. Including practical tips is indeed useful, but grabs more attention when they are presented within each category, not in a different section further on in the report.

2. Atlas Point


Company

Atlas Point helps financial advisors and individual investors have better financial conversations with their clients. 

Assessment report

To deliver financial advice at scale, Atlas Point digitized financial virtues assessments. Each report is tailored based on the response that each individual gives to the tool.

Rating 

🤩🤩🤩🤩

Strengths and weaknesses 

🟢 The extent of personalization is very strong in this report. 

On the cover page, both the advisor and the respondent/client are mentioned. 

As formulated above, Atlas Point also generates two different reports from one assessment: one for the client and one for the advisor. This represents a very high extent of personalization.

There is a clear use of symbols and colors, which benefits the structure of the report. The reader will be able to navigate through the report easily.

🔴 The report jumps right into the insights, without giving an introduction of what you may expect as a reader, an overview of the possible outcomes, etc. This is not a problem for the advisor, who should know the content of the report, but the client might be interested to read what they may expect to learn throughout the report. 

Atlas Point has addressed this concern by providing general information inline, which makes up for it largely.

3. Indaba Global

Company

Indaba Global is a training and development company providing products and services in the management consulting field. They provide professional coaching for executives. 

Assessment report

To help businesses, colleges and consultants to assess an individual’s behavioral tendencies, they have developed their own behavior assessment (DISCflex). This assessment comes with a DISC Assessment report. 

Rating

🤩🤩🤩

Strengths and weaknesses

🟢 The assessment starts off well: there is a clear description of what the respondent may expect. The report makes good use of chart visualizations.

In their methodology, Indaba uses third party feedback to compare the respondent’s results to how others (co-workers, family and friends) see them. This is a very good approach to encourage deep introspection. 

🔴 We can speak of clear customization based on the answers of the respondent. But apart from that there is little to no personalization, like the use of the respondent’s name. 

The design looks very basic. It would look more professional if more attention was paid to the corporate identity. We recommend using a tool that supports you in graphic design.

Indaba provides a lot of text-based information, which is good, but there is a danger of  information overload. Consequently, the reader might lose interest. The report is text-heavy and uses a small font which has a negative influence on the readability.

Make sure that, when you generate a PDF with variable text (i.e. text that varies according to the answers the respondent gave in the assessment), you take the presence of headers and footers into account. As you can see above, a part of the text disappears beyond the footer.

Rating

🤩🤩🤩

Strengths and weaknesses

🟢 The report is nicely designed, with a clear representation of their corporate identity. It reads easily, giving the respondent the opportunity to grasp the essence of his or her results.

If we look at the structure, we see no clear introduction. BDC immediately jumps into the results. Is this a problem? Not necessarily, in this case. The results are accompanied by charts and contextual information, enabling the respondents to see their results in a bigger picture.

Moreover, BDC applies a comparative model, allowing the respondents to compare their results with industry benchmarks. 

🔴 Unfortunately, there is no cover page and no personalization. A cover page gives the report a more professional appearance in the eyes of the respondent. 

The report is relatively short and the recommendations they share with the respondent are only personalized to a minimal extent. All insights are linked to the profile “conservative”, in this case, and the report doesn’t dig deeper into the separate answers given by the respondent.

Also the recommended reading is too general and, consequently, not engaging. 

A step-by-step guide to create an assessment report yourself

The ideal structure of an assessment report depends on different factors. Let’s take a look at this example:


1. Cover page

  • Start your assessment report with a cover page that clearly represents your brand and addresses the respondent.
  • Make sure the cover page looks professional and attractive, suitable for your industry.
  • Represent your brand by incorporating your branding color(s), font, logo, and style.

Assessment-report-Cover-Page (1)

2. Explain what the respondent will encounter in the report
  • Talk to the respondent as if you are having a real-life conversation.
  • Explain the objective.
  • Elaborate on the structure of the report. 
  • Use symbols to indicate the different sections of the report.
  • Be transparent about the method you used to come up with the results and insights.

Assessment-report-How-to-Use-1

3. Provide a summary of the findings

Show the overall results of the respondent before you go more into detail in each separate section. Represent the results in a clear chart. A column chart is useful to show several results in one view.

Let respondents take a look at their results overview, followed by personalized recommendations based on their score. This will help the reader in preparing for the detailed discussion of the separate themes later in the report.

4. Discuss each theme separately

Show the respondents per theme how they scored, and what this means for them:

  • Use a symbol or visual to clearly identify the different themes.
  • Include custom scoring and visualize the personal score of the respondent with a gauge. You can use other charts as well, especially if you like to show how the respondent compares to peers, an industry average, etc. For the latter, you can use a bar chart.
  • Make personalized recommendations based on the scoring of the respondent.

Assessment-report-Empower-your-teams-1

You can end the report with a short conclusion, a call-to-action, or general information about your company.

Let’s wrap it up

So, don’t forget to …

Personalize: Use the name of your respondent throughout the report. You can do that in the header, footer, in text-based blocks, or in chart titles. Include personalized feedback per aspect you’re discussing. 

Visualize: Balance out text and visuals. Why explain results in text-form when you can present them in easy-to-digest charts or tables? Don’t forget your design: take your corporate identity into account, use your house font and colors. 

It’s important to note that there is not one “ideal model” that can be applied to every assessment report. The report will be influenced by the structure in which the assessment is built, the industry in which the assessment report is used and the audience for whom the report is made.

However, these tips are applicable to every type of assessment report.

Example Of Digital Documentation Of Wound Care Outcomes For Reimbursement Report

Wound care, especially the management of chronic wounds is a costly affair. It is estimated that for every 1000 patients, 3.5 have a wound (Shepherd & Nixon, 2013). This implies that considerable resources are spent in the management of wounds. For instance, in the US, $2.8 billion is spent annually in the management of about 3-5 million chronic wounds. Chronic wounds negatively impact on the quality of life of affected patients since they affect their comfort, mobility, emotional well-being, life satisfaction, create caregiver burden, and time is spent seeking medical care (Buckley, Adelson, & Agazio, 2009).

B2 First (FCE) Report: Writing Guide

We will use the example FCE report topic below:

Last year a new sport and leisure centre opened in your home town. You have recently received the following letter from the manager of the centre:

I am writing to all members of the Active Leisure Club tgo thank you for your custom over the last year. We want to make the facilities even better this year! Please send a short report to us, telling us what you think are the best and worst aspects of the club. We also want to hear your suggestions for new facilities…

Write your report to the manager of the club (between 140-190 words).

Step 1: Find – key points, topic and target reader

You need to start writing your report by finding the key points/information, the subject and the person to whom you are writing

Last year a new sport and leisure centre opened in your home town. You have recently received the following letter from the manager of the centre:

I am writing to all members of the Active Leisure Club to thank you for your custom over the last year. We want to make the facilities even better this year! Please send a short report to us, telling us the best and worst aspects of the club. We also want to hear your suggestions for new facilities

Topic: Active Leisure Club wants to improve their facilities

Main key points:

  1. describe the best aspects of the club
  2. describe the worst aspects of the club
  3. suggest new facilities

Target reader: manager of the centre:

As soon as we’ve analyzed the task and extracted all the information that we need we can start building the report structure and writing it.

Step 2: Title

Although the title is not obligatory, it is certainly an attractive addition and could be something like:

  • Report on …….  + Topic
  • Topic + : a report

If you remember in the previous step (Step 1) we found the topic.

Topic: Active Leisure Club wants to improve their facilities

Let’s use it now:

 Title: Report on Active Leisure Club facilities
Title: Active Leisure Club facilities: a report

Step 3: Introduction

A good and equivalent introduction should contain two things:

Firstly, you have to state the purpose of the report as clearly as possible – this gives the reader a clear idea of what to expect and sets the tone for the rest of the report.

The purpose of the report is nothing more than three points you found (in step 1)

  1. describe the best aspects of the club
  2. describe the worst aspects of the club
  3. suggest new facilities

Let’s use them now:

The purpose of this report is to outline the best (point 1) and worst parts (point 2) of our club, as well as to recommend improvements to the facilities. (point 3)

Finally, you mention how you collected the data for your report this is not something that you have to do but it can help your report stand out a little bit.

The purpose of this report is to outline the best and worst parts of our club, as well as to recommend improvements to the facilities. The data for the report was collected based on the opinions of club members (source)

Complete and finished introduction with title:

Title: Report on Active Leisure Club facilities

The purpose of this report is to outline the best (point 1) and worst parts of (point 2) our club, as well as to recommend improvements to the facilities. (point 3) The data for the report was collected based on the opinions of club members. (source)

Step 4: The body paragraphs (main content) 

When we have a ready title and introduction to our report, we can move on to writing the proper content.

In the main content, you should answer the main key points that you discovered in the task (see step 1) under suitable subheadings, and each is placed in a separate section/paragraph.

Main key points  (see step 1):

  1. describe the best aspects of the club
  2. describe the worst aspects of the club
  3. suggest new facilities

See the example main content below, with additional annotations you may find useful:

The best aspects of the club –  add a heading 
Most members seem to enjoy the swimming pool with its daily water exercise classes and the opportunity to swim in 50-metre lanes. It also appears that offering a child care programme is appreciated by the majority of our members since many of them have families, but still would like to use the facilities of the club.

[first key point answered -best aspects]

The worst aspects of the club – add heading 
According to most of the members I have spoken to, the café does not meet their expectations with below-average food and slow service. Another problem is the state of the gymnasium which, in general, is avoided by many because of broken equipment and a lack of staff during peak times.

[second key point answered – worse aspects]

Suggestions

[…… here you can add one more paragraph and give suggestions, OR include them in the conclusion]

                   – formal/indirect language – official

                   – transitional words, expressions and conjunctions, which link the sentences and make the text more fluid

 TIP: Headings are very important!

When you write a report every paragraph must have a title but don’t worry, these do not need to be creative titles. This is not an article!

Headings must be factual. They must only let the reader know what information will be contained in the paragraph.

So what is a very boring and factual title?

Introduction… , Positive aspects of… , Negative aspects of…, Improvements…, Recommendations…, Suggestions…

Step 5: Conclusion

After writing the entire content, we only have a summary where we can also include our suggestions or recommendations – to do this we can use some specific language that is there to persuade the manager of the centre to take up our idea and implement it.

Suggestions & conclusions add a heading 
In the final analysis, the best solutions seem to be to improve the quality of the menu and the service at the café as well as the maintenance schedule and number of staff at the gymnasium. If manager is decided to follow recommendations, the experience of members would improved
               – persuasive language (recommendations)

To sum up….

 A report is a formal paper, it has to be concise, well-organized, which makes it recommended to use bullet points and headings so that the reader can quickly find the information they are looking for in your text.

The language of a report is expected to be formal and objective. For this reason, you should avoid including yourself or your views in most of your sentences.

B2 First (FCE) Report: Example Answers

Subject:

Your college has just published the first issue of the new college magazine. The organisers are interested in knowing what students thought about it, so they have asked you to write a report. In your report, you should talk about what the students liked and disliked about the articles, the sports section and the news section. Then, you should make suggestions on how to improve the magazine.

Write a report.

Student’s FCE Report Answer:

The New College Magazine

Introduction
The purpose of this report is to outline students’ opinions about the new college magazine, and to make recommendations based on their views.

The articles
Most students thought the articles were interesting and well written. However, they did not talk about modern topics, so some students found this part of the magazine a little boring.

The sports section
It is thought that the sports section is good, but most articles were about football or basketball. This is not a good thing because most of our sporty students play rugby, not football or basketball.

The news section
Many students complained about the news section, because it only focused on news about the college. These students were expecting to read some news about the city, too.

Recommendations
In order to solve the problems above, I recommend taking some measures. Firstly, article writers should focus more on technology and other modern issues. Secondly, we should consider writing more about rugby and less about other sports. Finally, we should include some news about our city. If we do these things, the magazine will be more interesting to our students.

Subject:

The gym you work for has been losing members recently and would like to know why they are leaving. The gym manager has asked you to write a report about why these customers are leaving. In your report you should specify what the problems are and should give recommendations for improvement.

Student’s FCE Report Answer:

Improving Our Gym

Introduction

The aim of this report is to explain the main reasons why members are leaving the gym. After interviewing some clients, we have identified some serious problems.

Limited opening hours
Some members have complained that the gym opens a little late for them. For this reason, workers cannot exercise before going to work. If the gym opened at 7 a.m., clients could exercise easily before going to work.

The changing rooms
Many of the lockers are broken so customers cannot leave their belongings in a safe place. Also, some of the showers are not working properly so members have to queue before having a shower. In order to solve this, I suggest replacing all lockers and showers immediately.

Lack of parking spaces
Some previous members have joined gyms which have a parking lot. Although we cannot build a parking lot, we can offer a parking area for bicycles. As a result, this might encourage members to use their bikes to come to the gym.

Conclusion
To sum up, I believe that if we take care of these problems, members will be happier and will decide to stay with us.

B2 First (FCE) Report: Tips

  • Begin by stating the purpose of your report.
  • You may use invented statistics to provide a succinct summary of your results.
  • Use headings. They will make it clear that your report is not an essay or review.
  • Use lists of numbered points or bullets where appropriate.
  • Divide your report into sections according to the input.
  •  Develop the ideas in the task input.
  • Include a sentence summarising your opinion at the beginning of the final section of your report.
  • Use an impersonal, formal style.

B2 First (FCE) Report: Grading

Language

It might seem that it’s difficult to use advanced language in a Report. After all, the topics are usually so dry —what can you write to show your creativity?

This is why being specific so important. The more specific your ideas, the more specific the language you have to use, and therefore the more advanced your language will seem. Don’t stop with ‘computer’ – think of ‘interactive whiteboard’, ‘webcam’ and so on.

Organization

It’s not always easy to show links between paragraphs in a Report — especially since each paragraph addresses a single point.

However, you can make sure to link your ideas in each paragraph, so that the sentences build up to a complete, fully-formed idea.

Try to use different sentence patterns. For example, use an adverbial clause at the start of the sentence to introduce your idea— ‘It’s highly likely that…” for
example.

Communication

Reports should be written in  formal register.

It’s a good idea to use the passive voice (eg ‘This report has been written ….”) but not in every sentence – you will send the Target Reader to sleep if you rely on it too much.

Introduce complex ideas as well as simple ones. Saying that there is a computer in every classroom is a simple one — but
saying that the webcam can be used to communicate with people online is an example of a more complex idea.

Content

 It’s important that you consider all of the content points.

Everything you write must be relevant to the task. Don’t get distracted by something you think is more interesting.

Add as much specific details as you can — this will make the Target Reader feel fully informed.
