Using headings in your reportHeadings should be clearly, logically and accurately labelled since they reveal the organisation of the report and permit quick reference to specific information. They also make the report easy to read. Headings should be specific and descriptive NOT vague and general (Weaver & Weaver, 1977). Sometimes a main heading will be general but the specificity is developed through subheadings. Given the need for specificity, headings would tend to be more like an abbreviated sentence rather than a single word. A good rule of thumb is that the heading should be "long enough to be an inclusive label but short enough to be immediately clear" (Weaver & Weaver, 1977: 84). You should also try to make headings grammatically and logically consistent; for example, if your main heading was Types Of Schemas and your subheadings under this section were: Schemas for scenes it would be much better to change the final subheading to Schemas for problems so that consistency in your headings is maintained. Also avoid using headings that are catchy rather than informative; for example, the following subheadings, although catchy and cute, detract from the serious informative intent of the following report. 4.
