Introduction to Academic Writing
This module covers:
• The main characteristics of academic writing • Analysing texts to identify informal and formal styles of writing • How to rewrite a text in formal academic style www.jcu.edu.au/students/learning-centre 1Academic Writing Style
Academic writing is a style of writing: just as
if you write a short story or a newspaper article, there are rules to follow. Following these rules makes you a more credible, convincing writer.It can also help you get b
etter marks because your information is clearly presented.Specific
Academic writing is concerned with facts rather
than vague assumptions. Consider these two statements:1. At university students are expected to
write academically.2. At James Cook University, students are
expected to write academically by using formal language, clear structure and referencing.The first is vague; the second is more specific
and meaningful.Evidence and Emotion
Academic writing is based on a critical
judgement of complex ideas and information, rather than an appeal to emotions. Your writing should be based on things which can be seen or measured, rather than on personal beliefs. However, some assessments will require you to express your opinion or ideas based on your experiences. These exceptions will be made clear in your Subject Outline.Language
Academic language is clear and concise. You
should use formal language, references and supporting evidence to defend your argument rather than try to convince your reader using emotive language or judgemental words such as terrible, appalling, fantastic, or incredible.The tone of the words you choose should be
formal rather than conversational in style. In other words, the words you choose should feel polite and cordial rather than ch atty and pushy.Note how the words
polite and cordial are formal and the words chatty and pushy are informal, and each suits the style they are describing. Avoid colloquial language: figures of speech, idioms, and clichés.Clarity
Just because it sounds
pretentious does not mean it is academic. Can you understand the following sentence on the first go?The research referred to herein showed a
multiplicity of factors that contributed to the multiple findings which indicated...If your reader has to read each sentence
several times they will be confused and probably give up. All your effort researching and writing will be wasted. It is better to be clear and straightforward to get your point across than trying to show off.Writing for Your Reader
Writing for university is like giving a tour. A good tour guide:Maps out the journey in a logical order
Stays on track
Researches & highlights the main points
Adopts a confident & appropriate tone
Maintains audience interest
Gives a polished presentation
For an assignment, the direction and scope of
your tour (assignment), is set out in yourSubject Outline and in the Grading Criteria.
First, second and third person
There are three perspectives that a text can
be written in.First person is the author talking
about themselves or a group they are part of.I often write in first person in emails.
Second person is the author addressing their
reader. This is often used for instructions.You should be careful not to write in
second person at university.Third person
removes the author and the reader from the topic being written about.It is standard practice at James Cook
University for students
to write in third person. 2Example of Academic Writing

More detail
Research/facts A method of self-medication in wild animals is the technique of consuming poisonous plants to treat parasites. For instance, research in Africa has found that chimpanzees in their natural habitat sometimes ingest the poisonousVeronia
plant. This particular plant produces terpenes, which are toxic. In the correct dosage, the terpenes in V eronia kill intestinal worms while leaving the host animal unharmed. Researchers found that chimpanzees eat only the pith (the soft, spongy centre tissue) of theVeronia plant -
where the concentration of terpenes is optimal for the poisoning of parasites and do not suffer any ill effects. The scientists have not discovered whether this self -medicating behaviour is learned or instinctive, but their research suggests that chimpanzees may understand the concept of dosage, asVeronia
often proves fatal to other wild animals that ingest the whole plant. This research shows that chimpanzees and other animals have the capacity to treat parasites with plants from their natural surroundings; other research shows that when plants themselves provide the problem, wil d animals employ yet another form of self-medication.Morgan, S. (2012).
Effective Writing: CU1010 Textbook
. Cairns, Australia: James Cook University.Notice how the academic writing:
refers to research not opinion makes statements as clearly as possible without lots of extra words each sentence builds on to the one before with examples, more information or discussion uses all words in full such as do not rather than don't uses both large and small words because they are the right words, not to show offThis example of academic writing is from a first-year student essay. It is also worth noting that this is
an unusual piece of writing for university because it does not have references to indicate where the material came from: you can find more information on using other people's information in the Summarising, Quoting and Avoiding Plagiarism workshop and through the JCU Library Guides. 3Your Turn
Have a look at the numbered sentences below. Each has something that makes it unsuitable for academic writing. Can you tell what the problems are?Once you have identified the parts that are not suitable, rewrite them following the characteristics of
academic writing. 1. Computers, laptops and mobiles are a number one need for every individual today. 2. It is without a doubt clear and concise that computers have revolutionised this day and age, and allow us to confabulate globally. 3. Everyone loves the WWW, to SMS and play on their PS3!! 4. Computers are beyond amazing and have a massive impact on our lives, and we would unquestionably be lost without them.Be a Good Tour Guide
The following sentences are part of a written assignment on "the need for clarity and logic in academic
writing". Number the sentences in the best order possible and put a cross next to any sentences that should be left out. The reader can more easily understand the information if it is presented in a clear and logical manner. Clarity and logic in academic writing helps both the reader and the writer. The writer is also benefited as it forces the writer to better analyse the connections between their pieces of information and sequence it accordingly. It is for these reasons that clarity and logic is considered a necessity in tertiary institutions. Writing clearly is also a skill that the writer will carry with them for their lifetime. Reading effectively is also an important skill at university. 4Walking the line...
Sometimes it helps to think of academic
writing as one end of a long line - a continuum - of language that goes from informal to formal. Take a look:Informal
Formal
1.That was soooo boring!
2.That workshop was so boring!
3.The workshop on academic writing was boring.
4. Students have reported that the workshop on academic writing did not meet their learning needs. 5. According to a recent student survey, the academic writing workshops at JCU have failed to meet intended learning outcomes. Did you notice how the language became more specific and factual as it became more formal?Try 'walking the line' in the following example:
Informal
Formal
1.That was sooo great!
2.That workshop was so awesome.
3. 4. 5. 5Which is more academic?
Which is more 'academic' in the following sentence pairs - 1 or 2? Why? 1. There were a lot of students who enrolled at the university to study education. 2. Five hundred students enrolled in the Bachelor of Education degree at James Cook University. 1. Statistics from Road Safety Australia show that male drivers accounted for 60% of total traffic accidents in the North Queensland region in 2013, with female drivers accounting for the remaining 40%. These figures suggest that female drivers are more skilled in avoiding traffic accidents than male drivers. From this we can conclude that ... 2. It is my honest opinion that women are better drivers than men. 1. Thus, based on personality theory as developed by Mr I.M Sure, it is clear that personality is the product of both genetic and environmental influence. 2. Thus, differences in personality can obviously be attributed to genetic influence. I am sure we have all recognised similar personality traits in ourselves and our parents as well as other siblings. If we would but look at the commonalities in our family trees surely we could see that personality is the product of genetic transfer? 1. The potential for abuse of the proposed voluntary euthanasia legislation, quite clearly necessitates that every State in Australia reject the proposal outright. 2. The pain that legalising euthanasia would bring to unwitting victims of such legislation far outweighs the pain of any terminal illness and thus such legislation should be rejected immediately. 6Context
Writing is always influenced by context. Academic writing is just another context in which to write and, believe it or not, it does become familiar after a while!See if you can guess the following
language contexts.Need More Assistance? Contact The Learning Centre
