Academic Writing

Hello everyone,

At the moment I’m struggling with continuing my writing… In our last lesson we submitted our introduction and conclusion but of course we haven’t got feedback yet. And that is the thing: I need feedback to know whether I did well or not, if I should rewrite my parts or if the paragraphs are fine. So at the current stage of writing I’m not sure exactly where to continue which leads me to a stage of uncertainty and therefore, lower motivation. ;) But I assume not giving feedback right away should lead us to the process of rethinking and revising our parts on our own, without having immediate instructions what to do next. I think this is a kind of simulation we are going to face later when writing our thesis.

So, now I decided to do further research on my parts of the sentence outline and continue reading the journal articles. I hope that I can find some interesting and reliable statements I can include in my paper and enhance my outline.

How is your work going?

Cheers,

Caroline

Hi Caroline,

I faced the same problems last week. Thus I also started to revise the writing and structure of my paper that I had so far. By doing this some ideas came to my mind and I found some more valuable literature, which is really good I guess.

Since we received our introduction and conclusion back this week, I am looking forward to writing the middle parts. What will most probably be rather challenging for me is to stay within the limits of the word guidelines. As I am very interested in the topic I chose, I found so many absorbing aspects about it that I have to force myself to really focus on only my limited field of topics. Are you also struggling with this kind of issue?

Best,

Ulrike
