I am coming to the end of the first year of my degree. I have had pretty consistent grades from my assignments or written work over the year and I am happy about it but I would like to better myself over the summer.
Basically, in all my feedback that I have had in order to improve; they have all basically said that I need to expand my 'academic language'. Now, where I do know exactly what this means, I was wondering if any of you could spare the time to direct me to some resources such as some books or websites that have helped you 'think' in academic language whilst you are writing assignments. I was to change my way of thought when I am putting sentences together for essays so that by mid year 2 I will have developed it enough to right it 'automatically' in said format.
Thanks to those who contribute!
