Some tips on academic writing in the university of UK The following is my personal advice on academic writing and wanna to share with you guys. 1. understand the essay topic For me, at the very first, I could not always understand the requirements and go the wrong way of my assignment for a few times. You know, the result would not be as you expected. Tips: 1) if you are not sure about your understanding, do ask somebody who can tell you the relatively right answer 2) alternatively make an appointment with the professor, tell her/him about your understanding, and ask her/him whether your understanding is right or inaccurate ( strongly recommend this way) 2. outline the structure it is also essential to outline the whole assignment's structure, which could help you have a clear picture in your mind and guide you the right way. 3. search for the supporting academic resources just making sure all the documents come from the reliable resources, such as 3 star or above journal articles and books. P.S. make full use of all the library resource, I believe you could get a pretty good mark. 4. paint your master work now you get everything in hand, all you need is to put all these in a logic and cor-hence way. 5. decoration skills When you finish your work, make sure do not have many small mistakes , such as grammatical mistakes and spelling errors.
