Academic Writing Key Challenges

Decent Essays
Show More
As with any other assignment, there are many obstacles in writing an academic writing. The “Research Paper” is not an exception. One of the greatest key challenges for me would be locating all sources, and incorporating them in my paper, without losing the initial message of the author. Another key challenge is time management. Besides this paper, I would need to distribute my time to my other 3 classes at the college, everyday church activities, housework and my sick grandma. Next challenge is having proper grammar and spelling. English is not my first language. However besides my primary Russian language, I often interact with Kazakh, French, German and Udmurtian. Sometimes it is hard to switch the switch between languages and it is easy

    Little Brown Artifact Handbook Chapter 6 Analysis

    Just like the previous chapters, there are many useful tips that can be used while writing an academic paper. It’s always important to have a purpose for your paper whether it be to explain some phenomenon or a controversial argument, demanding that your side on a possibly sensitive subject be taken. Always consider your audience, which will most likely always be educated as your professor will be the one to read and grade said paper, and while they are your audience, they are also there to provide you with the necessary help to make your paper great. Responses are not my strong point and that is something I will need to work on. I have a difficult time writing in a structure and providing a sufficient amount of evidence, but this chapter has given me enough ideas on how to improve on that and enhance my vocabulary to make my papers more…

    Planned Parenthood Paper

    The process of the research paper that was most challenging was organizing the paper. The reason organizing the paper was hard because I had to decide what was important information and how much of the information should I explain in depth. For example, my paper is about the history and benefits of Planned Parenthood, I had to go through and make sure I add extra information on events that led to the building of the first Planned Parenthood and recent history that was important to add. The process of the research paper that was most challenging was basically figuring out the flow my paper should be in for the reader to understand.…

    Writing: 10 Core Concepts Summary

    I chose Chapter 23 “Using Source Material” in Writing: 10 Core Concepts. “Using Source Material” is important and useful information on how to use other sources in your writing effectively. Chapter 23 gives examples for how to: include enough information to back up your ideas, but not so much information that it covers up what you want to say. In addition, it gives tips for how to incorporate it into your writing. Robert P. Yagelski argues that “The challenge for many students is resisting the tendency to rely too heavily on source material so that it doesn’t take over the student’s own writing” (743).…

    The biggest challenge had to face when it came to writing was in my senior year of high school. During the summer of my senior year we had to read this called the “The Mis-Education of the Negro” by Carter G. Woodson. I thought this was just going to be another read and reflect paper, but it turn out to be a 5 page analysis.

    Writing-Based College Challenges

    In a writing-based program, there are many challenges but there are also advantages. One of the challenges that students face is time management (Chambers, 2016). Students will need to make time within their schedules to complete the coursework on time. Often adult students are working full time and managing a household prior to starting college. These students will need to express with their families, and others involved in their everyday life, how important this is to them so that they understand and support the needed time to complete assignments.…

    My Challenges As A Writer

    My writing isn’t nearly as advanced as I would like it to be, and this is mostly because I don’t write on my free time. I only ever sit down to write when I need to for an assignment or if it is something for work, however, I do occasionally make journal entries, but it is very rare. Even though I don’t write very often, when I do, it isn’t that hard. I ranked myself a six on challenged to gifted writer because I don’t find writing a challenge, but I am not that great at it either. On the other scales I put myself down as a five.…

    Everyone should know that feeling of an instant writer's block, that makes them feel like a complete idiot when they're writing an essay. If you've never felt that way before, then maybe you're a genius or you're not me. Most teachers prepare their students well enough to be able to knock down any challenges faced when they're asked to write an essay or term paper. I'll agree that writing can be difficult, especially when you're at a cram for time, but writing is an important part of a student's academic life.

    The Importance Of Scholarly Writing

    I was always told that an essay is developed around a thesis statement and resources that support my opinions about a prompt. I realized that there was more to an essay when I came across scholarly writing, which is writing on a higher level, usually one which we come across during college. It meets high standards of communication with outlines, tone, deductive reasoning, format, and way of analytical approach. It has a consistent way of delivering thoughts, shaping arguments, and narrowing down the subject to explain the main idea. With scholarly writing, students must express their thoughts through thesis statements, and develop an argument with their own thinking, not minding to be objective to clear any chance of bias.…
