Academic writing: Part three
I’ve spent many years developing my own academic writing and using that experience to help students do the same, so this video series is for sharing some of that experience and advice.
I’ve often found people may well understand a topic in detail but they’re unable to get their message across well in a written format. If that sounds like you, this video will help.
In this third video, I discuss the notion of ‘proper’ editing, which is something I’ve taken years to develop myself – and is something I still have to work on.
I also focus on delivering a simple and refined analysis. This sort of simple clarity is often lost in academic writing, but I strongly believe it should be the goal you strive for.
This series of videos build on each other, so try to watch them in order. I also suggest taking notes about the key ideas so you can revisit them once you have some academic writing to work with.
