Writing an Informal Report

Task: A recommendation report (in memo format) related to a problem students face at the University of Ottawa.  The problem could be the admissions process, the online registration procedures, poor course schedules, and inefficient bookstore, a course-or program-related weakness, the parking situation, food services, housing support, or something else you think is a significant problem for students here.  It might be a problem for all students, or just for international students.

1. Gathering Information: Investigate the problem based on your own experiences, on informal interviews or conversations with other students, and/or on things you have read. 

For today’s class, think of 2 or 3 questions to ask your classmates in your research. Write the questions below:

a)          

b)         

c)        

You will interview your classmates today or next class. 

2. Developing a solution for this problem.

3. Writing your recommendation report.

• Use memo format.  This memo-format will be addressed to Ms. Lucille Bordieu, University of Ottawa Student Advocate (a fictional individual). 
• Use the indirect approach since you want to persuade the reader. (This is one version of the indirect approach for an analytical/recommendation report.)
• In this report do the following in the order given: 

a)       Introduce the problem clearly and concisely. Discuss the background to the report (the reasons you wrote it) and the method of data collection; 

b)       State facts and describe your findings i.e., what you have discovered about the problem you identified;

c)       Discuss and analyse the findings/ data (in the table).  Include a graph of some kind to show the main findings; 

d)      Give some recommendations (at least 3) for improving this problem, based on the conclusions you have come to through the analysis of the data (in the table). 

e)       Use headings and listing where it is suitable. 

The report should be about 2 pages long.  Be clear, be concise, and be persuasive.
