Help for SIP Report Writing

WRITTEN REPORT REQUIREMENT

- The Written Report is one of the four components. Failure to submit the written report covering the required details will mean noncompletion of this component, thus student is deemed not to have completed the SIP. The length of the written report should be between 10 and 15 pages, excluding appendices. The report should be typedwritten, double-spaced, using Helvetica font size 12 or Times New Roman font size 12.

- Report Format

1. INTRODUCTION
Purpose
• tells the readers what you want to achieve through the report - state the objectives you have set for the report.

Background
• provides information on the context of the report such as brief details about the company and your role in the company/department.

Method of Investigation
• where and how you got the information for writing the report.

Scope
• the areas this report is limited to or the extent of coverage of the report - refer to your year 1 report writing book if you are unclear about this.

2. FINDINGS

-Describe the learning experience as well as problem solving situations.

-Describe the environment management or “green” programme that is in place in the company and explain the reasons behind the programme. If the company does not have such a programme, discuss how a “green” programme will benefit the company and the environment.

-Identify and describe the type of IT support that is used in the organisation. Explain how the use of IT software assists in increasing the efficiency of the organisation. Comment on your computer literacy in comparison with the desired computer literacy required to perform the job.

3. REFLECTION AND SELF APPRAISAL

-Reflect on the learning experience and skills learnt. Critically evaluate your performance during the attachment. Use Appendix D as a selfevaluation of your own performance during the company attachment. Your critical, yet authentic, evaluation gives you an opportunity to reflect on your strengths and weaknesses, which are, in turn, instrumental in helping you identify your developmental needs.

-Comment on the service culture of the company by reflecting on one positive and one negative incident you have encountered in the course of completing the assigned job.

-List the knowledge, skills and attitudes learnt from the attachment. (You may include skills such as drafting skills, inter-personal relationship skills, computing skills, etc.)

4. CONCLUSION

-State your overall conclusion about the attachment.

5. RECOMMENDATIONS

-Provide feasible recommendations to improve your performance in the job(s) you have been assigned.

-If you have to do your SIP again with the same firm, what would you do differently in order to:
• maximise your learning during SIP
• improve your performance in the job(s) you have been assigned.
