Are you excited? I'm excited. Can you feel that prickle sweeping across your skin? Can you hear that low wind coming from the east, bringing along the scent of spice and the knowledge of how to write long reports?
Yeah. Long reports. Tell your friends. (Go ahead, I'll wait, bring them in here)
Module 24 is an ode to the long report. It's based around the points of organizing your time; strategies for report section writing; and comparing and contrasting formats and styles.
So Module 24 is actually inherently shorter in subject matter than pretty much any of the others. Lets just absorb that sweat irony before we continue. (Ah, that's good stuff)
Half of this module is a long report, being used to show you how to write one. It's interesting, and it's detailed. So no doubt it will come in handy at some point or another. Unfortunately as the book itself says there are a lot of formats and styles. And earlier they talked about how companies all have different organizational styles (apparently they have their own style books 9 out of 10 times.) So a big example isn't super useful. Making the best thing to take away from this section (from a practical standpoint anyway) the list of vital components from page 432. Which includes looking at PAIBOC, reviewing past reports that are similar and hopefully that they liked, consult experts, and send your draft around a lot hoping someone will tell you if you're screwing up.
