Personally speaking, academic writing has been a key concept throughout my college experience. Various courses require a high level of grammar and vocabulary, for example, I took five English courses previously whose professors expected coherent texts. My expectations from the course were to enhance my writing skills and enrich my vocabulary. Each unit of the course has its goal, for instance, in unit 1 students were supposed to completely understand the definition of academic writing. Our professor gave us previous exercises to achieve it.
Firstly, we watched a video about the definition of academic writing sequently I took notes from the video and then we compared it in class. Secondly, some sheets about academic writing were uploaded in our platform; I read it and could understand better about the characteristics of academic writing. Finally, the process of doing exercises relating to the topic of the course was crucial to acknowledge academic writing.
On our first class, we were required to make a graphic organizer about what we understood. My product of this unit is shown below, I used the website Creately.
