Welcome to this summer edition of ERS. In just 4 weeks, we will spend everyday together fine tuning our writing skills to prepare you for your majors in MUIC and for your academic life overall. When we think of academic writing, it tends to be a serious subject. It is something that we approach with a high level of formality and focus. This is true and correct.
However, this should not be confused with boredom and void of creativity. The best academic writing is formal and focused and important... and fun and interesting and inspiring. We often forget these latter parts. The ultimate objective is to inform and persuade our reading with well organized and thoughtful ideas, but hopefully along the way we as writer give them as reader an enjoyable and even memorable experience.
In this first journal blog for the summer term, share what you find the most difficult challenge is for you when you approach writing for an academic purpose.
Make sure that you include your ID# in your post. Aj. M
