Academic writing
Academic writing is much more formal than other kinds of writing. You need to make sure your spelling, grammar, and punctuation are accurate, and you should avoid using slang and contractions (can’t, won’t, etc.). However, your writing should still be clear and concise—your reader should be able to understand your work!
Make sure you follow the structural conventions of the type of assignment you’re writing and format your writing with clear paragraphs. Use topic sentences to guide your reader and supporting sentences to show you have researched and to demonstrate evidence for your argument. Make sure your sentences and paragraphs flow logically.
