it can be subjective and/or objective, depending on the subject and field. 

it is always written from the author's perspective and bias, even when presenting facts, but academic writing tries to aim towards objectivity, finding relations and relating the micro to the macro and vice versa. ]]> 2021-10-27 08:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/Con_Luc/hxwr9v58uelrdt2i/wish/1847645667 Con_Luc https://padlet.com/Con_Luc/hxwr9v58uelrdt2i/wish/1847647322 - communication of arguments and opinions, that are proven by examples and studies

It helps us share our ideas and outcomes with other people interested in the field, and also it helps us build scientific networks.

It is the foundation for academic discourse.
It involves two variables (dependent and independent), we should measure both to come to a conclusion. ]]> 2021-10-27 09:00:58 UTC https://padlet.com/Con_Luc/hxwr9v58uelrdt2i/wish/1847648010 Con_Luc https://padlet.com/Con_Luc/hxwr9v58uelrdt2i/wish/1847666593 1. guidelines -> specify what you're doing and within what framework, how you cite references, purpose of writing etc.
