5 months into the course, we were given a workshop on university writing and how to write academically. Already I've written an essay but none the less it was still a valuable exercise and I learnt some valuable information to use for the number of essays I have coming up.
We were told to avoid websites like 'Wikipedia' and 'IMDB' as well as random blogs as the information from this site is not from a credited source. We also learnt the importance of referencing and how to do it correctly, which was good as I'm at a loss when it comes to referencing! We were also advised to read a lot of academic books and journals to make our work stand out and get us a higher grade as they wanted a critical analyse not opinions and summaries.
Hopefully I can remember all the do's and don't for when it comes to my next essay.
