Do you hate writing research reports? Most people do. This 20-page 'down-to-earth' article covers writing a college-level Informative Research Report in three easy steps from beginning to end. Throughout its pages are numerous links and examples that were selected to walk students through the process of choosing a topic, completing their research, and writing a well-organized research report.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by! As an author, I publish works under my own name, and under the pen name of K.C. Berg. My first novel published under that name, “In the Light of the Passing: Book 1”, was named one of six finalists in the 2006 USA Book News competition. In addition, both it and its sequel, “Brinda’s Promise: Book 2”, received the Eric Hoffer award for notable fiction. In addition to my novels, I also write, produce, and direct stage plays, one of which was performed in New York City in 1998. In April 2013, my latest play will be performed by the Machickanee Players in Oconto, WI. It would be great to see you there!
I studied creative writing at Lawrence University in Appleton, WI, and hold a MS Degree in Management & Organizational Behavior from Silver Lake College in Manitowoc, WI. When I am not writing, I teach composition classes at local technical colleges, and currently serve as President of the Board of Directors for the Oconto Area Humane Society & Animal Shelter, Inc.

Why do teachers assign research reports? It's not because they've read all of the current best sellers and are desperate for new material!
Book Excerpt
Write Your Informative Research Report Right (Now!)
Writing an effective research report requires a student to use many of the tools that a successful student (and professional person) should be familiar with. First, it requires you to understand the task at hand thoroughly, and follow appropriate instructions. Next, it forces you to think about a topic in depth; it asks you to critically evaluate facts about the topic, and consider its pros and cons. If completed correctly, writing a research report will have you both 'find' and 'evaluate' information on a topic, discard information that rings untrue, then organize the remaining facts and report them from your own unique point of view. As you can see, this is a much broader form of assessment than simply giving you a quiz on grammar (God forbid!), or a college-level spelling test (double-yuk!)
