Data analysis is a skill but it can me learned.

Why do we report?

• accountability
• organization evidence for decision makers (use headings). Organize data by question/topic not by instrument
  

There is no standard format for reporting except if there is.

If you are giving bad news there is a right and wrong way to do it. (Max Hall)

Sometime you need to write tailored reports for different stakeholders.

Your results will sometimes be mixed with the discussion.

The introduction and the conclusion are the most important. Make sure they are well polished.
