We write to communicate effectively meaning there is a message to be conveyed, which needs to be accurate in content, and to be written clearly and concisely without ambiguity.
Ambiguity is writing which has an unclear or vague content. Consequently, readers are either unclear as to what is being said and why, or interpret the content in different ways to that intended by the author, which can lead to confusion and misunderstandings.
Academic writing is important because a specific content is being communicated to others who need to understand what is being said and why, especially when they are in a learning situation. The learners rely on what we have written, and will not only use the content, but sometimes pass the writing on to others so any e
ors of content, or poorly expressed content leads to the uptake of poor or inadequate knowledge, and the dissemination of this.
Good academic writing leads to sound knowledge being demonstrated by the writer, which is then recognised.
The student who has produced a good written content that meets the assignment requirements will therefore achieve high marks. The sound knowledge and awareness of the topic demonstrated by the writer means a sound knowledge-content is passed on to others.
The purpose of level 6 academic writing
5
Plan the intended content of your writing. If this is in relation to a set assignment e.g. a dissertation, ensure you understand the requirements of the assignment. If you are unsure speak to your personal tutor, or dissertation supervisor.
Use a book on academic writing skills available from the BPP li
ary.
Structure your written content in a logical way i.e. an introduction; a middle section in which you discuss all the pertinent and key points; and a concluding section in which you draw all the points you have discussed together and make a final closing remark or two on the importance of the subject to nursing/healthcare practice. Logical and relevant recommendations can also be made following the conclusions.
If you are given a required layout structure in terms of producing an abstract; an introduction; a set number of chapters; conclusions and recommendations; and an overall word allowance ensure you comply with these requirements.
Read-back your work as it is actually written, not what you know you meant to say, but read your work as though someone else is reading it (i.e. through the lenses of another) to see if the writing and expression is clear. This requires academic discipline in order not to skim over the content.
Always do a spelling, grammar, vocabulary and punctuation check before submitting any work – meaning a draft, or the actual assignment. This will identify any e
ors that need co
ecting and means you have control over what you are submitting.
Submit a draft of the assignment in good time so that you can receive informed feedback and amend your work accordingly.
Tips for successful academic writing
