    ACADEMIC

    WRITING
    An Introduction
    To most people, Academic
    Writing is seen as a lonely
    and frightening endeavor.
    Many are afraid (professionals
    and students) to even show their
    written papers.
    Many still seem to have the
    idealization that writing Academic
    Papers requires skills that only
    few people have.
    THIS HAS TO
    CHANGE!
    Students, and even professionals,
    need to see that writing academic
    papers is within our grasp.
    REMEMBER THIS:
    Although Academic Writing adheres to
    certain standards, it is still a personal activity
    and that your voice as a writer should still be
    heard despite research and documentation.

    writer’s voice can still be heard
    in a written text?

    ACADEMIC WRITING IS THINKING

    because you don’t JUST write everything

    appropriate and FORMAL
    but not too pretentious.

    up your statements with
    strong and valid evidences.
