Description
For readers who are mystified by academic writing, this book presents the secrets of success.
Flexible and easy-to-use, it introduces readers to the seven keys which will unlock high-quality written assignments at university. Using simple and straight-forward language, Steve Campitelli show readers how academic writing works, what good writing looks like and the skills you need to produce it.
The first chapter – Show Why Ideas Matter – covers the single most common issue: the (missing) interpretive voice. Most students don't fully engage with the 'so what' or 'why it matters' component. For readers, the good news is that most students quickly 'get it' and armed with this new mindset, their approach to academic writing is transformed. The book supports readers with many other sticking points of the process, from producing writing which flows, to using sources of information effectively, and staying on task. The final chapter addresses one of the biggest talking points in higher education: using generative AI. It shows students how to use gen AI ethically, in ways that complement their work while still positioning them as the writer and producer of the work. Readers will understand how this technology complements, but does not replace, the writing process.
Readers also benefit from a wide range of pedagogical features which make for an engaging and immersive reading experience. This includes quotes from academics about what they are looking for in writing; phrase banks; pro tips; and an end-of-book glossary.
