There was a time when my writing prof told me that my writings were pretty much colloquial See, it's really hard to kick out my bad habits. These videos are not only essential for the college student but also extremely short that I love it too much. Please continue your education online; it would be beneficial for us.

Thanks, Lydia. Always keep in mind the audience. What works for one professor or audience may need to be adjusted for the next.

Here in March 2024 and I confess that these habits have become second nature because students want to increase word count. Thank you for the valuable tips because quality supersedes quantity in academic writing.

I have benefited from your video with 5 not-good habits that should be less used in writing. 1. Avoid Nouning (it when the noun hides the verbs) Example: The driver gave assistance to the injured pedestrian=> The driver assisted the injured pedestrian. 2. Watch out for Expletives ( there is, it is) Ex: There are a dozen students who volunteered for the experiment=> A dozen students volunteered for the experiment. 3. Don’t let It be (is, am, are, was, were, be, being) Ex: Paul is blogging for a living=> Paul blogs for a living. 4. Avoid Weaklings ( very, lots) Ex: The really bad news => The terrible news. 5. Chop the Deadwood Ex: Due to the fact that harvesting takes time.. => Because harvesting takes time. Thank you so much!
