Writing and presenting dissertation reports - a review agenda

Based on Saunders et al. (2009), I produce the following agenda to review the topic of "Writing and presenting dissertation reports":

1. Time management
2. Set goal and be focused
3. Produce a drafted table of content to structure your report
4. Monitor the length of your report: ie  your actual word count vs word count limit
5. Tell a clear story: ie your question <-your answers <- your evidence
6. Ensure appropriate format of report, tables & figures, and referencing
7. Express ideas clearly with correct grammar; also check word spelling
8. Allow time to do report revision and polishing
9. Perform self assessment with assessment criteria
10. Oral presentation (optional): preparation with slides; use of visual aids; review your presentation style, e.g. do not just read out content from notes.
11. Make the presentation: arrive at the presentation venue on time
