Review of unit 5

Unit 5

What did I learn

I learnt that I have to make my academic writing formal by using the following important points: stay on the topic, don't be biased, write what I mean, mean what write, avoid redundancy, avoid ambiguous words, avoid using 'a research' in my writing, avoid contractions, pay attention to the appearance of my document, look out for homonyms, spell author's names properly, avoid direct quotes, and to use logical connectors for my paragraphs to follow smoothly from one paragraph to the next. Lastly I learnt that I need to perfect my introduction to be good for my reader to be interested in my writing and follow my writing easily and develop an argument in my writing that has no flaws.

Preview of unit 6

I learnt that that at the end of my writing I need to write a conclusion that ties together my argument, that provides a summary and concluding remarks of my writing. After completing my writing I need to edit to see if my writing has a logical flow to my argument and use the editing strategies to do so. It is also important to revise my writing to see if I have made mistakes regarding language and if my writing really makes sense. Lastly I learnt that after I have submitted my writing and my lecturer has  marked it I need to use all the feedback that I got from my lecturer for my writing and incorporate it and use it for academic growth and development.

What I would like to understand more.
