For many students, writing a professional text that is easy to read has proven to be a struggle. TheAcademic Writing Skills course breaks down the writing process into different skills that students can use when they have to produce a text. Seven digital writing skills modules, called Diskits, contain instruction on micro writing skills, rules of thumb, and several short exercises together with expert examples.
The combination of both clearly explained skills and exercises to practice them has resulted in an effective training course. The micro writing skills that are dealt with are: structuring, referencing, paraphrasing, quoting, sentence structure, summarising, reviewing grammar & punctuation, and argumentation.
