The formal report was a great opportunity for me to develop professional writing skills. This assignment was a collaboration with several peers and required us to work effectively with each other to create a cohesive document. This was a large document that required attention to detail to be able to meet each requirement. This was also an opportunity to effectively convey my thoughts to an audience. In order to stay within the set time limit, I had to extract key elements from the formal report and present it to the class.
