This is a nice summary of informal reports,but don't forget to put some of your personal experience in the blog; other than that, I think is a good blog.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog post! I like how you provided an example of a report. Examples are usually very helpful to many people. Also, great job explaining the differences between the different types of reports.
ReplyDeleteGreat work Jason, I like the fact that your post is simple and straight to the point. This makes it easy to read and understand. A suggestion is that, you can maybe clean up on some punctuation errors, but other than that, an excellent post that is very helpful to read.
ReplyDeleteJason,
ReplyDeleteNice blog. You may want to read over your posts a couple times before submitting to correct any grammar errors or have someone else read over your blog. You also could have gone into futher depth on this topic such as what the difference between formal and informal reports are and when it is appropriate to use them.
