ACADEMIC WRITING

         Whether you’re a student, teacher, or entrepreneur, academic writing skills are necessary in today’s world. Essays, reports, presentations and research papers are just some examples of documents written in the academic style.

         Information that we get from different sources that we use must credible, reliable, relevant and useful to the writing of our paper. we have three level in classification of information which are single-fact information, general information and in depth information

         Today, in my class, I learn how to determine either the sources good or not. Firstly,we must look URL address. for example, gov for government, edu for education, org for organization. From the URL, we can know the type of sources that we use.

        Secondly, we must look the content. we must see whether has author or not, this author expert or not.we also must look intended audience. It is important to remember who you are writing for. Being conscious of academic tone suggests that you are aware of your audience and respect the formality normally associated with academic writing. we are also must look references, valid or not.


Last but not least,we must check their currency of the sources. for example,the date of article,when they was return,when they was updated and that are copyright which determine who may publish, copy piece of writing,music or image from other person work.
