This assignment requires you to understand report writing style and requirements. An important aspect of report writing is to convince the person or committee, the hypothetical audience for your writing, to persuade by your argument and to adopt your recommendations. An Executive Summary and a set of clear and actionable recommendations are essential in all reports; this report is no exception. You will need to bear this in mind when completing this assignment, as presentation is part of the assessment.
