Academic writing requires a different skill set than normal writing. The Library has created a guide that will lead you through what's involved. The guide covers how to plan your assignment, How to read and evaluate information, How to paraphrase, and how to make the transition from school writing to what expected for third level. The guide is packed full of tips and hints with useful videos. Check out the guide here
