Academic Writing
Thanks to various useful links I have put together a compilation of ideas into a useful list I can refer to of what I need to think about when writing an academic piece.
Collect information for your writing
Plan your writing
Choose main sections and key content.
What exactly do you need to do
What do you already know, and what do you need to find out?
Make a realistic time table, working back from your deadline
Plan time for your reading and research
Do a draft first which you'll improve as you go along
Allow time to review and edit your work
List of things to check for once I’ve finished the academic piece
- It answers the question set.
- It demonstrates understanding and clarity of thought.
- It provides evidence of reading and research.
- It supports any assertions by evidence.
- It is well structured.
- It is written in the appropriate style (Formal; impersonal and objective; cautious; personal)
- It flows from one paragraph to another.
- It is appropriately referenced.
- It is interesting to read!
