Question

Captured with Xnip Writing Resources: The quality of written and verbal communication will impact the mark awarded for this assignment. To assist students, there is a document in Learn entitled Guidelines for Business Reports. Students are also encouraged to become familiar with resources available at the UW writing and communication centre: https://uwaterloo.ca/writing-and-communication-centre/online-resources/wcc-resources In particular, the sections on starting your assignment and polishing your work, may contain ideas that are new to you. - Students also need to be aware that Microsoft's Word and grammar websites such as www.grammarly.com only catch 0 – 20% of grammatical mistakes. DO NOT RELY on these tools as a final grammar check. Students are encouraged to proofread other students' reports on an exchange basis, to catch English errors. Winter 2024 Note also that various forms of English are being taught around the world. Students who were taught English in a foreign country may not have learned North American English. ONLY North American English is accepted by North American businesses. References/Citations/Footnotes: All sources must be properly referenced. Include footnotes where applicable. Any style is acceptable (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.) but it must be consistent throughout the entire report. Any form of plagiarism will result in a mark of zero. Advice on how to avoid plagiarism can be found at: http://subjectguides.uwaterloo.ca/plagiarism Warning: Poor writing will result in an arbitrary reduction of the assigned grade, to be determined at the sole discretion of the instructor. A very poorly written report will receive a grade of zero, regardless of content. Examples of poor writing that will cause your grade to be reduced include any of the following. Evidence that the report has not been proofread at least twice prior to submission Sentences that don't make sense Run on sentences or paragraphs Inconsistent writing style from one section to the next More than 2 spelling errors Absence of subtitles, bullets, tables or charts (i.e. it must look like a business report) Ludicrous pagination (e.g. a sub-heading at the bottom of a page) Failure to include an executive summary A poorly written opening paragraph (will most likely be awarded zero and the remainder of the report will probably not be read, i.e. exactly the same treatment as one can expect in a business environment) Failure to follow the guidelines provided to students for writing business reports 2/n/n
