How to write with<br />
precision and clarity<br />
Texts written in an academic writing style should be<br />
clear and precise. Students can use several strategies<br />
to avoid misunderstanding and confusion among<br />
their readers:<br />
› Every word in a report should mean exactly what<br />
the student is intending to say.<br />
› When describing something, the same word<br />
should be used for it consistently.<br />
› Aim for sentences of two or three related parts.<br />
Examples<br />
› Too short: I tested the prototype. All participants<br />
completed the task. They said that it was easy. It<br />
took them a long time.<br />
› Just right: I tested the prototype and all<br />
participants completed the task. While they said<br />
that it was easy, it took them a long time.<br />
› Too long: I tested the prototype and all<br />
participants completed the task, saying that it was<br />
easy, but taking a long time.<br />
