I attended a report-writing workshop put on by the BC branch of the Editors' Association of Canada today. The presenter was Diana Wegner, who teaches in the communications program at Douglas College.
The workshop had a stimulating mix of presentation time and excercises, and even though I do not do a lot of report writing, I found the material useful. It started with a review of research report components followed by a comparison of the writing process as opposed to creating a final product for the target readers, and then got into the nitty-gritty of revising for coherence.
I found Wegner to be a knowledgeable and stimulating presenter, and would recommend the workshop to anyone interested in clear research and writing.
