Academic Writing - One Perspective

lwill32 — 2023-10-07 06:15:48 UTC

Aloha Doctoral Scholars,

I wanted to share the below excerpts with you from a recent article published in the Chronicle of Higher Education. The author is focused on the topic of ChatGPT and academic writing – so, not specifically discussing the presentation of a dissertation. However, the perspective is true and valuable for the dissertation focus.

Through requiring students to write multiple drafts, intensive comments on each draft, ongoing revision, and conversation, I teach them that all writing is rewriting, and good work is just that: work. (Robin, 2023, p. 36)

Robin (2023) continues identifying a framework for academic writing beyond the walls of an educational institution.

Academic writing has never simply been about producing good papers. It’s about ordering one’s world, taking the confusion that confronts us and turning it into something intelligible, wresting coherence from chaos. And knowing that doesn’t happen spontaneously or instinctively. That’s not a skill for college only. It’s a lifelong practice. Being able to see a situation, picking out those elements that matter and lend it significance, bringing clarity to obscurity; These are what good readers and good writers do. They’re what good friends, good parents, and good citizens do, too…

Writing is not therapy, but it pushes for a discovery of self in a similar way. It requires you to make your fleeting thought a hard fact in the world, and to make yourself answerable for that fact. If you can’t do that, you need to revise your thought and find another fact, one that you can live with as your own. (p. 36-37)
