Issues to be checked in the final report Report – 6 • Organization • The document is organized to support the needs of the reader, providing straightforward access to needed information • The reader can find the main ideas and the structure of the document quickly and easily. Appropriate organizing principles (e.g. chronological, spatial, etc.) are used and guide the reader through the material • The level of detail is balanced and appropriate to the needs of the audience; material is not repeated unnecessarily. • Format • A consistent format is used throughout the document for fonts, margins, paragraph styles, and other visual elements. • The system of headings for sections and subsections clearly shows the document structure and is used consistently. • Figures and tables are visually separated from the body of the text; they are numbered consecutively, have informative captions, and are correctly referenced in the text.
