Some writing hints

This is a summary of writing hints. To a certain extent I have written this as a feedback from the exercises and reports from previous years. It may help you both with the exercises and when you write the final report. While I think it contains many useful points, it obviously cannot be considered as a complete set of instructions for creating good explanations and for good writing.


Creating good explanations

This is just as important whether you explain something to yourself, if you write a short answer to a question, or if you write a long report.

DIFFERENT WAYS TO EXPLAIN
For each part of your explanation, consider which way to explain is the best. In particular, do not only use text but remember to use figures and formulas when appropriate.
