A Little Thing Called
Writing
My Journey into academia
, Consider What You
Know
Different writing assignments require
different degrees of knowledge. A 12-page
research paper will call for more
background information than a short
response paper.
, Consider What You
Think
The aim of your paper is to add a fresh
observation on your part (instead of just
summarizing). But this isn’t an invitation to
air your personal reactions. They are but a
starting point.
Shaping these personal reactions into a
thoughtful, critical paper requires the
mediation of certain critical processes.
