4. Secure a recommendation report for a project subsidized by a city or federal agency, a private organization, or a university committee or task force. (Be sure to check your university’s website; universities routinely publish strategic planning reports and other sorts of self-study reports. Also check www.nas.edu, which is the site for the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, the Institute of Medicine, and the National Research Council, all of which publish reports on the web.)
In a memo to your instructor, analyze the report. Overall, how effective is the report? How could the writers have improved the report? Submit a copy of the report along with your memo.
