Dear Readers,<\/span><\/p>\n

Below are my reflections on the process of creating a formal report draft and peer-reviewing a formal report draft.<\/span><\/p>\n

Organizing, and contextualizing the formal report was not foreign to me as I am currently a Sociology major. However, I found difficulty in formatting a formal report as I am used to formatting persuasive research papers. Research papers, specifically in the field of sociology, implement a theoretical aspect of the report. It took some time to adjust to a more objective approach to a report rather than a subjective, more opinionated approach I am comfortable using. Nevertheless, the reports types included similar organization and contents. Although the formatting between the two report types were different, I found that the commonality between the two report types make it easier to understand trends and ongoing issues in our current society.<\/span><\/p>\n

The major concepts I learned from this assignment were the various ways of presenting data in research report. This assignment taught me how to use graphs and charts to better present data I obtained. This assignment also allowed me to create a survey and interview a number of respondents in ways I have never done before. However I found it challenging to filter in and only mention the important data trends from my survey into the report. It took a lot of editing and thinking to decide which results deemed effective in my report. At first my report was set to be over the page limit set, but overall, I was able to manage my survey results and filter out unnecessary information to the best of my ability.<\/span><\/p>\n

The peer review process for this particular assignment had its positives and its negatives. I received great feedback regarding my formatting and organization of my report. I found the feedback from my fellow Wordsmith, Julian, to be very insightful and I plan to use all of their recommendations. I was however, too optimistic hoping to find more recommendations regarding the content of my report. As I mentioned earlier, I found it challenging to leave out some survey results as I believed that too much of my material was helpful in my argument. I was not able to get feedback regarding my content, but that is partly due to the fact that Julian and I had far different topics for our reports. <\/span><\/p>\n

Below is my draft of my formal report.<\/span><\/p>\n
