Developing My Writing Skills

This is a pointer that I never thought I would have to include, but given the fact that I failed my written dissertation, I have proven myself wrong.

Writing critically is something that I would like to work on as a pointer, but writing as a whole would give me great experience and help me develop my skills for any time in the future that I would be writing about my work or anyone else's.


  • Be critical to my own work like I would as if it were someone else's work.
  • Read more
  • Get a solid conclusion in place to make sure the work points to this in the strongest way possible. 
  • Make sure my research is solid and thorough 



SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES INVOLVED IN CRITICAL THINKING
Interpreting according to a framework
Relating theory to practice
Making a claim and supporting it
Using appropriate evidence
Making links between ideas
Asking questions
Evaluating
Predicting
Describing
Analysing
Synthesising
Categorising
Establishing cause and effect
Comparing and contrasting
Identifying problems and solutions
I came across this table on the University of Canberra website after doing a search on Google. Although this table is based around critical thinking, it works on just the same basis as critical writing, I would need to take in all these factors when writing an essay or report about my own or others work.
