Technical report: this type of report is commonly done commonly for the people interested in the way of analysis have been approached. Technical report mainly emphasis on
1) The methods employed.
2) The assumptions made in the course of study.
3) The detailed presentations of findings including their limitations and supporting data.
Popular report: this type of report is used to convey the understanding of subject matter without confusing the technical jargon and in simple language .popular report is one which gives emphasis on simplicity and attractiveness. The simplification should be sought through clear writing, minimization of technical, particularly mathematical, details and regular use of diagrams.
Similarities of Technical & Popular Reports. * Both are used to study a Research Problem. * Both state why the research was undertaken. * Both reports contain a summary of results. * Both reports contain bibliography. * Both reports have list of recommendations.
