English 2053: Analytic Report

Preparatory Reading
Before you begin writing your analytic report, read pages 40-48, which describe the assignment and provide you with a model report. Because this is a memo report you should also review "Memorandum Format" on pages 138-139.

Your Assignment
Administer the questionnaire that you created in response assignment three to at least twenty-five people and tabulate the results. I suggest you create a table that will permit you to compute values for all possible combinations of identifying questions. See the tabulation example for a model.

Your report must include at least one table. The table or tables that you include in your report do not have to represent all of the information you have gathered. You can decide which information to use in the report.

Tip: Be sure that your table or tables are properly labeled and titled. Review the information starting on page 132 in the text.

Tip: Remember that memoranda that are longer than one page, require a second-page header on the second and all subsequent pages.
