Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by comparing data across two years and highlighting key trends. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some inaccuracies in the specific figures mentioned (e.g., 100 students for Engineering in 2010, 90 for Arts, etc.), which do not match the provided percentages. Additionally, the report refers to 'number of students' while the visual description uses percentages, which could cause confusion. To improve, ensure that the data presented aligns with the visual information and clearly indicate whether the values are percentages or actual numbers. The overview could also be more precise by including the most notable changes, such as the rise in Business and the decline in Arts. The report falls short of the required 150 words.
