The third meeting of the student club on Thursday, April the 8th is about distinguishing between formal and informal writing for academic purposes.
As always, everyone is invited to join online here.
We will also try to use the Grammarly application to improve our skills in academic writing.
Meanwhile, some common issues to remember while writing:
Word choice and tone should be polite.
No use of first and second person singular pronouns
Use of positive and literal language and academic vocabulary.
Avoiding repetition and over generalisation.
Use of proper spelling, grammar and punctuation
No use of contractions, cliche, colloquial diction and abbreviations
Sentences are fully elaborated and concluded.
Avoid use of jargons.
No statistics without proper reference.
Full of objectivity, as proper evidence, should be there to support your argument.
Looking forward to seeing your academic writing!
