Academic writing The 4 Cs of academic writing: CLEAR CONCISE COHESIVE CORRECT

Academic writing Academic writing is a style of writing which is quite formal. It is different from the style which you use to communicate with friends and different from that which you read in newspapers. Academic writing LogicalAvoids colloquialisms Uses reasoningClear Passive voice: “It was found that…” Aware of biases in sources Uses evidenceRelevant ObjectivePrecise Keeps to a logical sequenceNot personal

Academic Writing Many assignments can suffer from being too wordy. This can result in information being difficult to follow. As you write or edit, ask yourself: Is the meaning of this sentence/paragraph clear? Can I improve the way I have written this sentence/paragraph? Have I used linking/transition words to assist the flow and structure of the assignment? Go to the Purdue Online Writing Lab for more examples of concise writing

Useful links Learn Higher (This link will give you access to numerous resources being developed by a number of universities in many different study areas.) Open University (The OU have developed many online resources, including a section on Study Skills.) The Royal Literary Fund (Good, comprehensive introduction to undergraduate academic writing.)
