How to Write A Findings Section in Informational Reports

Описание: In this lecture, English professor, Dr. Whitney Kosters, explains how to write a strong findings section in an informational report. Whether writing for a university course, a business setting, engineering, healthcare, or government, the findings section is where research becomes understanding. It is the part of the report that explains what the evidence shows once everything has been considered together.

This video walks through what findings are, how they differ from summaries of sources, how to organize findings by insight rather than by source, and how to structure each finding so readers can clearly see patterns, evidence, interpretation, and limits. It also explains how visuals function in findings sections and how to communicate appropriate levels of certainty.

If reports circulate in your field, chances are strong findings will determine whether your document feels useful or incomplete to decision makers. This lecture is part of a full professional report writing playlist that moves from defining informational reports through planning, research, findings, recommendations, executive summaries, and revision.
