Short Reports Reports prerent ideas and facts to interested parties, decision makers,
and other audiences.
Unlike Long Reports, short ones (5-10 pages) do not contain a lot of detail.
For example, Long report describe something which include appendix with detailed comparisons of conditions.
Short report would summarize this information in a brief table or, depending on the audience’s prior knowledge, omit this information altogether.

Short Reports Short reports are appropriate in a variety of situations.
When the purpose of your communication is to inform an audience, offer a solution to a problem, report progress, or make a recommendation, you may wish to use short report
Short reports often use a memolike(kısa not) structure, starting with a memo-style header and breaking the text up into chunks separated by headings, but they contain more information than typical memo.

Audience and Purpose Analysis
Do your best to determine who will read this report.
If you can learn about the actual audience members in advance, you can anticipate their needs as you create the report.
Before you start the report, be clear about its true purpose
![Page 9: Short and Long Reports, Proposals and How to Read Paper Melek OKTAY moktay moktay@fatih.edu.tr.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649de75503460f94ae10fb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Types of Short Reports Short reports come in many types, depending on the
situation. Common types include the following:
Recommendations (öneriler): Recommendation reports interpret data, draw conclusions, and make recommendations, often in response to a specific request (sample Figure 10.9)
Progress Reports: Many organizations depend on progress reports (also called status reports) to track activities, issues, and progress on various projects.
Some professions require regular progress reports (daily,weekly, montly), while others may use these documents on an ad hoc basis, as needed to explain a specificproject or task. (sample 10.10)
Meeting minutes: Many team or project meetings require someone to record the proceedings.

direct action: Autorize project Purchase a service or product Or otherwise, support a specific plan for solving a
problem Although proposals often contain the same basic
elements as reports, they have one specific purpose: To propose an action or series of actions
Proposal can be called for in a variety of situations: Request to fund a training program for new employees Academic funding Etc.

Audience and Purpose analysis In science, business, industry, goverment, and education,
proposals are written for any number of audiences: Managers, executives, directors, clients, board members, or
community leaders. Inside and outside the organization, these people review
various proposals and then decide whether the plan is worthwhile (yapmaya değer).
At most general level, the purpose is to persuade (ikna etmek) your audience
Proposals often answer questions about nature of the problem or product, the benefits of your proposal plan, cost, completion dates, schedules, and so on.

Types of proposals Proposals may be solicited (istemek) or unsolicited
Solicited: proposals are those that have been requested by client or customer.
Unsolicited: proposals have not been specifically requested.
Because the audience for a solicited proposal has made the request, you may not need to spend as much time introducing yourself or providing background on the product or service

How to Read a Paper – S.Keskav
“Three-pass” approach
Each pass accomplishes specific goals and builds upon the previous pass:
First pass: gives you a general idea about the paper Second pass: let you grasp the paper’s content, but
not in details Third pass: helps you understand the paperin depth
![Page 30: Short and Long Reports, Proposals and How to Read Paper Melek OKTAY moktay moktay@fatih.edu.tr.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649de75503460f94ae10fb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The First pass The first pass is a quick scan to get a bird’s eye view of
the paper.
You may also decide whether you need to do any more passes.
This pass should take about five to ten minutes and consists of the following steps:

Types of proposals Causal (nedensel): Causal reports are used in situations
where you need to explain what caused something to happen For example, medical researchers cause of hearth attacks.
Comparative (karşılaştırmalı): Comparative reports are used when you need to rate similar items on the basis of specific criteria
For example, which security procedure, firewall or encription
Feasibility (yapılabilirlik): Feasibility reports are used when your purpose is to assess the practicality of an idea or plan.
For example, justify the cost of the interactive Web sites

A General Model for Long Reports
After analyzing your audience and purpose, do some basic research.
The sketch a rough outline with headings and subheadings for the report.
Introduction: The introduction engages and orients the audience and provides background as briefly as possible for the given situation
Often, familiar writers (have a background) write long introduction....
But, readers do not generally need long history lessons about the topic.
![Page 40: Short and Long Reports, Proposals and How to Read Paper Melek OKTAY moktay moktay@fatih.edu.tr.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649de75503460f94ae10fb/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
A General Model for Long Reports
In the introduction (Figure 12.6):
identify the topic’s origin and signifiance Define or describe the problem or issue Explain the report’s purpose Briefly identify research methods (interviews, literature
searches) List working definitions, but if the you have more than two
or three place definitions in a glossary Finally, briefly state your conclusion
![Page 41: Short and Long Reports, Proposals and How to Read Paper Melek OKTAY moktay moktay@fatih.edu.tr.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649de75503460f94ae10fb/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
A General Model for Long Reports
Body (Figure: 12.6): The body describes and explains your findings Present a clear and detailed picture of the evidence,
interpretations, and reasoning on which you will base your conclusion
Divide topics into subtopics, and use informative headings as aids to navigation
The body of your report will vary greatly, depending on the audience, topic, purpose, and situation.

A General Model for Long Reports
Conclusion (Figure: 12.7): Conclusion is important because it answers the questions
that originally sparked the analysis In conclusion: you summarize, interpret, and recommend Your conlusion should provide a clear and consistent
perspective on whole document. Do not introduce new ideas, facts or statistics in the
conclusion.
