Example Assignment. When your instructor assigns an informative report, he or she expects
you to find out what is currently known about some specific topic and to present what you discover in a clear and unbiased way[4].

17Conclusion
We have discussed about: Writing which is done in technical fields is called technical writing. Report is a systematic way of defining any topic in any discipline. Informative report is writing a report on something which someone has
learnt. The Laboratory Experiments are written in technical communication as
Lab Report. A research report is one type of report that aims to write clearly and
concisely about your research topic so that the reader can easily understand the purpose and results of your research.
