Instructions Please see the details on the questions tab. You will have two accesses to this exam. Use the first to read/print the instructions and the rubric and the second to upload your report file. Your file must be in a .docx format. A PDF is not acceptable, nor are other formats. Do not simply copy/paste your report into the exam. For this exam, you'll write an analytical report making a recommendation to Compton College regarding synchronous vs. asynchronous online courses. You have been asked to write this report as part of the college's desire to obtain student feedback on the subject so your reader should be receptive to your recommendation. The reports falls into the category of a "report to support decisions" (see top of page 405). Be sure to read the paragraphs immediately below that short section. I recommend that you start with a work plan for the report similar to what you'll see in Figure 14.2 on page 399. If you do begin with this, please include it as the last page (or pages) of your submission. You believe that the college should make all online courses asynchronous and have research to support your position. (Be aware that much of the research indicates that better learning takes place with synchronous courses.) The research that you did for Week \#10 assignment should be helpful. Your grade will be based on the following: Research: 10 pts, 2 sources properly cited Grammar: 25 pts, free from grammatical and related errors Content: 50 pts, logical presentation of relevant information to support your position 14.1: Applying the Three-Step Writing Process to Reports and Proposals Work Plan for a Report A formal work plan such as this is a vital tool for planning and managing complex writing projects. The preliminary outline here helps guide the research; the report writers may well modify the outline ction: Planning Reports and Proposals learning how to avoid similar failures in the future. - Reports to support decisions. Feasibility reports are called for when managers need to explore the ramifications of a decision they're about to make (such as replacing an advertising agency or switching materials used in a manufacturing process). Justification reports justify a decision that has already been made. Check out the "Five-Minute Guide to Planning Reports and Proposals" at the end of the chapter. Writing analytical reports presents a greater challenge than writing informational reports, for three reasons. First, you're doing more than simply delivering information; you're also analyzing a problem or an opportunity and presenting your conclusions. The best writing in the world can't compensate for flawed analysis. Second, when your analysis is complete, you need to present your thinking in a credible manner. Third, analytical reports often convince other people to make significant financial and personnel decisions, so your reports carry the added responsibility of the consequences of these decisions. 14.3: Planning Analytical Reports Check out the "Five-Minute Guide to Planning Reports and Proposals" at the end of the chapter.

Third, analytical reports often convince other people to make significant financial and personnel decisions, so your reports carry the added responsibility of the consequences of these decisions. In some situations the problem or opportunity you address may be defined by the person who authorizes the report. In other cases you will have to define it yourself. Moreover, if you're the only person who thinks there is a problem, your readers won't be interested in your solution unless your report first convinces them that a problem exists. As with marketing and sales messages, sometimes you need to "sell the problem" before you can sell the solution. GATHERING INFORMATION Obtaining the information needed for many reports and proposals requires careful planning, and you may need to do a separate research project to acquire the data and information you need. To stay on schedule and on budget, be sure to review both your statement of purpose and your audience's needs so that you can prioritize your information needs and focus on the most important questions.
