Introduction

 Welcome to the writing section of Achieve@Uni. Writing is a very important skill because most of your assessment tasks at La Trobe will be written. Here in this section we'll look at some tips and strategies for improving the clarity and effectiveness of your writing. Look at the 'Academic language' section for information on how to craft writing that is clear, concise and formal and therefore appropriate for university submission. 'Using sources' has information about paraphrasing, summarising and quoting - all vital skills for studying at uni. And check out the other pages for more ways to improve your academic writing. Follow the link at the bottom of each page to get live support or book in to see an Academic Skills Adviser - our experts are here to talk to you about your writing.
