Your report should be clear, concise and predominately analytical rather than descriptive. It is not enough only to show negative or positive points or to give short answers to the identified questions above. You need to analyse, discuss and critically evaluate the identified issues in your report and explain the rationale for your points, where necessary. Good critical discussion normally accounts for why something is good or poor, why it works or fails, why it is rational or irrational, why it is useful or useless.
