If you’re doing a university degree, chances are you’ll have to do some academic writing. Whether it’s an essay, a report, a reflective journal, an exam, or a dissertation, every degree will include written assessment at some point.
Academic writing can feel stressful because it seems so different than the writing we do in our day-to-day lives. The truth is, though, that with a little practice, everyone can get better at communicating their ideas through writing.
