Things to Avoid para ma achieve yung academic writing in a courteous way (EZRA, HATI
NALANG ME ZOE)

When writing properly with courtesy, it's important to be mindful of not only the content of
your writing but also the tone and manner in which you express yourself.

1. In academic writing, it's essential to steer clear of offensive language that may alienate or
insult your readers. Instead, strive for neutral and respectful language to maintain a courteous
tone and create an inclusive scholarly environment.

(Sa communication palang alam naman na natin na pangit sa pandinig at nakakabastos kapag
nakarinig o nakapagsabi ng offensive words, just like sa academic writing kailangan natin
maging maingat sa pagsulat and wag tayo maglalagay ng mga offensive words)

2. Avoid ad hominem attacks, which involve criticizing a person's character rather than their
arguments. Courteous academic writing engages in constructive criticism of ideas, fostering a
more respectful and productive exchange of knowledge. Focus on critiquing ideas, theories, or
methodologies, rather than attacking the character or qualifications of the authors. Engaging in
a respectful and constructive debate fosters a more productive academic discourse.

(Bilang respect iwasan natin ang paglagay ng mga personal attacks lalo na if bad reactions ito
because makakasira sa image ng isang tao)

3. Avoid capitalizing words for emphasis or importance as it can appear forceful and impolite.In
academic writing, it's important to adhere to the conventions of capitalization specific to your
field, such as capitalizing proper nouns and titles, but avoid excessive capitalization of common
words. Consistent and appropriate capitalization contributes to a polished and courteous
presentation of your work.

(Sa chat, napapansin natin minsan pag nakacapitalize mga chat ng mga friends natin, naiisip
natin na galit to or may emotions na nangingibabaw, and just like sa academic text,
napakainformal ang maglagay ng napakaraming capitalizations, because pwede syang
magcause ng irritation sa readers mo)

4. Biased language can inadvertently convey prejudice, discrimination, or favoritism, which can
undermine the credibility and professionalism of the writing. By using neutral and inclusive
language, writers demonstrate respect for diverse perspectives, cultures, and identities,
creating an environment where readers feel valued and heard.

5. Balance the depth of information with clarity and conciseness, ensuring that your readers
can follow your argument without feeling overwhelmed.Focus on providing relevant and
concise information that directly supports your thesis or research question. Avoid irrelevant
tangents or excessive details that may distract from your main points, ensuring that your
writing remains courteous and reader-friendly.

the source of the information (Einstein, 1915). Failing to provide a citation can lead to
accusations of plagiarism and is discourteous to the original author.

2. Mag fall sya sa intellectual honesty. The incorrect example makes an exaggerated claim and
dismisses previous research, which is discourteous. The correct example acknowledges the
contributions of prior research and presents the new study as an extension of existing
knowledge.

3. magffall sa inclusive language. Explanation: The incorrect example uses gender-specific

language ("his"), which is discourteous as it excludes individuals who do not identify as male.

study's significance and lacks humility. The correct example is courteous by acknowledging the
study's limitations, which is a crucial aspect of academic honesty.
