Outline for Report Writing C

This post will be on the general outline that I have drafted out for report writing C on oral communication skills. I will start off with the PPQ that I have.

Statement of problem: NUS graduates and undergraduates face problems articulating their thoughts verbally, especially in comparison with our fellow peers from SMU.

Statement of purpose:
Focus on the different aspects of oral communications that needs to be improved on.

The purpose of this proposed curriculum change is to let students better master their oral communication skills, and not let it hinder their progress in life in general.

Key question:
Currently are there courses that help students develop their oral communication skills?
Which are the modules that facilitate oral communication skills?
What are the specific areas  of oral communication that we can look into?

How can the new curriculum be implemented?

General outline:

Introduction
- Background information using data provided
- Other data sources
- Scope: Which aspects of oral communication? Proposed curriculum change?
- PPQ
- Rough organization of report content

Findings
- Use the effect and cause & functional approach

Recommendations
- Proposed curriculum change
- Improvement to current teaching methods and new teaching methods to introduce

Overall conclusion
- Need to improve on oral communication skills
- Implementation of proposed curriculum

This is it! All the best! :)

  1. Hello!

    Your outline is really well done and it's very detailed.

    However, I think you can add in limitations under the sub-section of introduction so that your report will be complete with all problems addressed.

    Apart from that, I find your post very well done. :)

  2. Hi Charissa, perhaps you could have a section for limitation of data. (:
    To let the reader know that these data are not 100% perfect. (:
    I think you can combine the two purposes into 1 since it is quite similar to each other (:

    Other than that, I think your questions and outlines are quite well-organized (:

  3. Hi Charissa,

    Your report outline looks good. The only suggestion I have is for your purpose to be more concise - best if it is a one-liner sentence.
