Section 1
Which of the areas above do you feel you need to work on the most (top 5)?
1 Evaluating academic sources fully (not cherry picking relevant bits that
misrepresent the author)
2 Planning an essay
3 Cohesion
4 Writing introductions
5 Writing topic sentences
How can you independently improve on these areas during this course? Think of specific
actions for each area you selected:
1 Paying careful attention to article abstracts, and check if key language points
validate my interpretations of the content against them.
2 Taking enough time to perform extended reading, in advance of the planning
process. Also, creating multiple different outlines rather than performing updates
on the same one.
Using strategies such as mind maps.
3 Updating first drafts of pieces of writing, on content, over and above just
grammar.
Taking time to plan and structure the essay-using outlines / mind maps etc.
4 Same as 2
5 Perform more extensive readings, so as to be able to condense own topic
sentences to the correct level of length and complexity.
