question•Deriving potential conclusions to the problem or research question
that reflect the scientific state-of-the-art•Academic discussion and

Example of the structure of a written reportThe bullet
points show topics that should be covered. These will normally not have section
headings. The actual headings in a report should tell something about the
contents of the section.Cover PagePreface and sworn statementAbstract if
