The Guide to Academic Writing
For a few years, I ran a student support service at a university. Over that time, I discovered that most students were tripping up for easily avoidable reasons, and came in with the same problems each time. Contained herein are solutions for the most common student difficulties, including: How should I prepare to write my essay? How much time should I leave? What am I being asked to do? Shouldn’t I Just read everything I can and then start? What is the difference between a claim and an argument? What does critically analyse mean? What’s the difference between objective and subjective? Why does it matter? What makes a good introduction? How do I sound academic? Just using the words and phrases without understanding them is getting me in trouble… How should I read? I don’t understand what these people are saying… How and why should I take notes? Why do I keep losing marks for referencing? How should I prepare before the exam?
