Writing a Chronological Progress Report

Write a memo summarizing your progress on your report.

In the introductory paragraph, summarize your progress in terms of your schedule and your goals. Under a heading titled Work Completed, list what you have already done. (This is a chance to toot your own horn: If you have solved problems creatively, say so! You can also describe obstacles youve encountered that you have not yet solved.) Under Work to Be Completed, list what you still have to do. If you are more than two days behind the schedule you submitted with your proposal, include a revised schedule, listing the completion dates for the activities that remain.

In your last paragraph, either indicate your confidence in completing the report by the due date or ask for a conference to resolve the problems you are encountering.
