5. Quality Assurance, Pro-Tips, and Pitfalls

Quality Assurance:

• All reports must be audited for spelling, grammar, and data accuracy by a secondary reviewer before dispatch.

Pro-Tips:

• Automate data entry using mail-merge functions if generating reports for large cohorts.

Common Pitfalls:

• Vagueness: Avoid subjective phrasing like "doing well." Use specific evidence like "demonstrated 15% improvement in [Skill Name]."
• Data Mismatch: Always re-verify the student ID against the grade entry to prevent misattribution of records.
