Discuss why some sections of the research report may be written in present tense.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Answer would ideally include: Introductory sections of reports--where the topic is introduced and the research questions and hypotheses are stated--are typically written in the present tense. This is because the researcher is describing a current situation, problem, or concern. Since the situation or concern is ongoing--and likely was not resolved as a result of the study--it remains a current issue and should be described in that manner. Any recommendations for the future, including the action plan, are probably most appropriately written in present or future tense.
