    KNOWING HOW ACADEMIC WRITING IS DONE

    Although the academic output varies from discipline to discipline, the same
    process of writing is followed for all degree programs. Here are the guidelines
    that need to be considered (Bullock & Weinberg, 2000).

    1) Choose a Topic
    Look for any topic that interests you.

    d to the specified, required time of completion.

    Medium
    Design

    Aim to find the best information from credible sources.

    4) Organize your Ideas


    • The organization needed depends on the rhetorical
    elements, like purpose, audience, stance and tone,
    genre, and medium.
    5) Write Out a Draft
    Consider your genre, medium, and design when deciding on
    register and style of writing.

    6) Revise, Edit, and Proofread


    • Pay special attention to correctness of language.
    7) Evaluate your Work
    How well did you convey the information? Is it complete e
    nough for your audience's needs?
    What strategies did you rely on, and how did they help you
    achieve your purpose?
