Introduction
In most projects the Final Report is the main (if not only) deliverable! Thus, you need to spend considerable time and effort to properly report your process, product and findings. Writing is not just informing others but also a chance to structure your own thoughts.
Exercise
Every report is essentially a collection of paragraphs. Therefore, how to structure a paragraph is salient in writing any report. Another useful tip is to warm up before you actually start writing. For your first exercise take a paragraph you have already written and try to improve it based on the tips in the online article on how to structure a paragraph.

For an extensive course on technical writing I would recommend Stanford university’s Writing in the Sciences online course and the book: How to write a lot.
