Writing assignment #5will be
an analytical report that addresses a problem or issue within
an organization. For this assignment, you will write a report of
2000-3000 words on a problem or issue within your workplace or community.
You will identify a problem or issue
within your organization. This may be a current place of employment or a
community group, such as a church, school, homeowner’s association, daycare,
recreation center, soccer team, or other group.
You will then accomplish the
following in the report:
- define
the problem persuasively and accurately - propose
a solution or solutions to the problem or issue - present that solution to a decision-maker or group of
decision-makers who can implement the recommendation.
The report will include the
following components:
- Title
Page - Letter
of Transmittal - Table
of Contents - Informative
Abstract - Body
of Report - References
Your report must also include
the following:
- At
least one graphic in the text. - A
minimum of five sources cited within the report. - At
least one source must be a scholarly source. - APA
style should be used in citing and listing the sources.
The complete
report should be 2000-3000 words, not including the list of references.
The purpose of establishing a word count is to ensure the topic chosen is
neither too big nor too small. Also, writing within parameters is a common
requirement in professional communications.
The complete report, as stated above, should
cite at least five sources. At least one of them should
come from peer-reviewed, scholarly journals. Your sources can also
include interviews. The sources will be integrated into the paper to explain
the problem, provide evidence of the problem, and support the
solution. If you are having trouble locating scholarly sources for your
topic, you can let me know during the weeks leading up to the due date for the
report. I can try to help you or work with you on integrating sources.
