and coherent manner, reflecting the structure outlined in the Introduction. It contains a description of the findings and a discussion of them. It should also relate the findings to any theory of relevance. The following questions are examples of some of the types of questions the body of your report should seek to answer:
– What were the most significant findings or factors involved in the topic/ problem?
– Did the findings support the theory?– Have you found some disagreement with the theory?– Did you uncover any unexpected or new issues that need to be
considered?
