A work-term report presenting in detail a technical project, activity, or analysis engaged by the student normally during the preceding work term. The report is evaluated on the basis of written communication skills and technical proficiency in the subject matter as demonstrated by the report. Work-term reports are required courses for the degree but their grades are not included in the average. However, failed work-term report evaluations may delay a student's progress as indicated in the Examinations and Promotions section of this calendar. Details regarding the evaluation of the work-term reports can be obtained from the student's program advisor.

All I'm doing for my work term is building out a site using a mysql db for data, but I have no idea how to write a 20 page work term report for it 9 points, 5 comments
“Other people who were in this position, what did you write about? Or more accurately, HOW did you write SO MUCH about topics that are pretty straight forward? …”
u/BubonicPython: “It's only 1500-2000 words which is like 6 pages double spaced. And don't overthink it. You don't need to do something terribly related to what your work exactly is. …”
[deleted]: “Thanks! For me, it is 2000-3000 words. So not 20 pages. BTW, what should I do if Im not enrolled in the WKRPT 100 course?”

[deleted]: “… The report is over 3 years old and was submitted as a WKRPT 100 and is therefore more/less a research report and has basically no ties to the job that my friend had at the time. I would be submitting it as my own research report to the mech eng department. …”
