Concussion as a consolidation technique

I was completely astonished to receive a mark of 93% for the final report I wrote for T209 after being concussed and having canaries fly in circles above my head, and to receive a distinction for the course overall.

A few simple rules and questions made a huge difference:
Who are the intended audience of the report?
What is the purpose of the report?
What is the medium of the report?
Separation of concerns.
What sequence of concerns is best for the explanation?
Check for factual and typographic errors.

Gather as much information as possible from a variety of up to date sources, and justify every recommendation and argument (for and against) with sound, tested explanations and examples.
