Brett T: A few helpful tips to writing an effective Table of Contents in a formal report.



A few helpful tips from the video:

- create the table of contents last, because you will not be able to put exact titles and page numbers in your report until you are all finished.

- All titles have to match up, or it will be too difficult to follow.

- If you have less than four charts or graphs, include them in the table of contents.

- If you have more than four charts or graphs, create a table of visual aids on another page.

  4. Don't forget to put your story into the post....Use "I" and tell how the content relates to your life. I'm sure you have had to write reports in your academic life. What were your problems. I had never heard of the Table of Visuals for more than 4 visuals in your report.
