How to write college assignments: 6 Tips for college writing

​As a first-year student, one of the initial things you will realize is how much writing is required. Writing a paper is a common task in just about every subject, from English composition to biology to bowling. Even though writing is a creative activity and every writing assignment is different, there are a few general guidelines you must always abide help with college level papers while producing for your classes.

1.   Make use of proper grammar.

Now that you're at college, it's important that your writing be appropriate for college reading and understanding. In addition, your analytical skills and general ability will be determined based on how well you express yourself in writing, so it's important to start practicing good writing habits early on. It includes using correct grammar and punctuation and adhering to conventions of English.

2.   Use a pretty formal tone

Avoid using jargon, slang, or cutesy words or symbols in your writing, including smileys. Do not overemphasize your remarks using many excitement, quotation marks, or italics. Keep in mind that overemphasizing text has the opposite effect as underemphasizing it. Avoid using emphasis tools such as all caps, underlining, and bold italics.
 
The appropriate level of formality must be used, but you must avoid using overly formal language or lyrical expressions to impress your readers. Instead, choose the language that's also simple and concise and that successfully expresses your views.

3.   Use punctuation, but not excessively.

The declining use of punctuation marks is a major problem for modern English teachers and editors. A generation raised on texting and online chatting may suffer to transition to more traditional academic writing.
 
4.   Be precise and clear

Use precise language to ensure your writing is easily understood. Always use the right word and consider its implications before writing. As a general guideline, avoid using technical terms or other specialist languages that people may not be familiar with. If you have to utilize specialized terminology, make sure to explain what it all means. Don't use made-up or outdated terminology, either.
 
In order to write clearly and concisely, you should avoid cliches, overly-long sentences, and unneeded repetition. When a shorter term will do, choose for it (example: use versus utilize). When possible, you should always write in an active voice.

5.   Create an outline.

Make an outline to use as a structure for your paper when you start drafting. The level of specificity is up to you. If you want to find evidence to back up your claims or expand on your ideas, get your thoughts in order, and understand early on if you have to make any substantial revisions or conduct any additional research, then you should write an outline.

6.   Brainstorm

​
Try engaging in some free writing, cluster, or one of the many other activities that fall under the category of "brainstorming" if you find that you are completely stuck and unable to think of any ideas.
