For more information on progress report writing, refer to Markel's Technical Communication , chapter 22.
Progress reports keep track of activities over a daily or other specified period of time.
They communicate the current status of projects. Report Format and Structure Format Use standard memo form to discuss your research progress so far, your findings up to this point, and your plans for completion. In your memo, follow the same document design format that you used in your proposal. Be sure to divide the discussion section into specific subheadings identifying the information contained in each sub-section. Remember that much of your proposal can be recycled and included as part of the progress report.
