What is academic writing?
Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Distancelanguagelearning/English Web/writing/Academic Writing/class/Unit II
Is it okay to include personal responses in an academic paper, why?
NO. ACTUALLY, ACADEMIC PAPERS MUST BE OBJECTIVE. IN ACADEMIC WRITING WE JUST WRITE ABOUT WHAT WE KNOW OR WHAT WE THINK ABOUT A CERTAIN TOPIC, BUT WE DO NOT WRITE ABOUT WHAT WE FEEL ABOUT THAT TOPIC OR THE WAY THAT OTHER RESEARCHERS INTERPRET THAT TOPIC. PERSONAL POINTS OF VIEW MUST BE RESTRICTED WHEN WRITING AN ACADEMIC PAPER.
