Writing is a major part of your studies in different ways. You take notes during presentations or lectures, jot down your thoughts when reading for your classes, write down key terms taken from the material before a test, write comments explaining what you have read for yourself to improve your comprehension, and draft texts of your own.
Much like with reading, it’s important to have a general idea of what you want to achieve when you are writing. This depends on what you are being asked to do and what your intention is as you go about your work. What is your contribution, other than fulfilling a certain requirement to get the desired qualifications?
Learn about the type of text and presentation form required at your department or institute and familiarize yourself with the standards that apply to scholarly or scientific texts in your specific discipline.
