The writing you've already done for your project-your original proposal and subsequent progress report-may be of use to you in writing your final report or article. For example, you should be able to adapt your analysis of the problem, review of recent literature, and statement of purpose and approach for the introduction to your report.

Furthermore, the criteria for evaluating your work, which you established in your proposal, should serve as a basis for your report's discussion section. Of course, you may want to revise your earlier ideas in light of what you've discovered in the meantime. As you organize your work into the sections described below, remember that you may want additional subsections with headings that help to focus your work.

Early in the semester, bring a double-spaced draft of your final report to the Writing Center. This will give you enough time to take at least one subsequent revision to the Writing Center before completing a final revision of your report before handing it in to your project advisor.
