This indispensable guide shows students what successful academic writing
involves and gives them the tools they will need to write successfully
themselves. It separates fact from fiction and takes students through
the five essential elements of academic writing: writing critically;
using sources; developing your own voice; having a clear
structure and style; and editing and polishing drafts. Chapters
include annotated extracts of real students' academic writing from a
range of subject areas. This third edition has been revised throughout,
and contains three new sections on originality, argument and
synthesising sources.
Writing for University is an essential resource for students making
the transition to university-level study and a valuable reference
point for all students doing academic study in English. It is suitable
for students of all disciplines, from education and business through to
social work and psychology.
