Blog #2 Paper follow up

The thing I focused on most out of the book was how to write a formal report. I have not written a report such as this before and did not know how to format it. By following the format that the book laid out, my paper was very organized. It has a logical progression of thought and effective summaries. These factors will help higher up members of the company understand my report and its conclusions. A large amount of effort was spent on keeping the paper form using subjective terminology and instead using facts and data. The lack of subjective terminology makes the paper easy to read with few opportunities for misinterpretation. The use of data provides the reader with the data that led to the conclusions of the paper. By using data following the layout of the report, the reader will draw the same conclusions that I did. I also used the technique of analyzing my audience. As I knew the report was to my boss, I was able to skimp on some details that I knew my boss already understood. This let me keep the paper short and to the point. The use of these techniques allowed me to create an effective professional paper.
