Week 8: Writing Approaches

This week we studied the essential components of academic writing. We discussed some tips for academic writing as well as do’s and don’ts

For the academic writing we need to keep the following things in mind.

  • A clear know how of the research topic
  • The objective of research
  • Data and in information that helps you do the research
  • Conclusion

Writing Introduction and Conclusion

The introduction and Conclusion both are the most crucial part of writing the report.

The introduction of a report is crucial since it establishes the overall tone. It should outline the topic of the essay and provide a summary of what the essay’s body will discuss. The What, Why, and How strategy is one technique you can employ while writing your introduction.

The conclusion gave a summary of your report and shows the outcome of the whole research. The conclusion should also link to the title of the report and we have to make sure to answer all the questions asked in the title by this point.
