Post-1: Introduction to the course

Dear All,

Welcome to the course of Academic Writing which you are going to take this academic year. This blog together with yours will be our learning space where we'll discuss a variety of topics you are interested in and concerned about, we'll share some things that you find exciting/interesting/useful or all of these at the same time. I am hoping that with the help of this course you will be able to improve the skills you already have and master new ones that will help you to become a better writer in English.

Thanks for sharing your first pieces of writing with me, which I'm planning to read and comment on during this week.

Next week in class I'll explain to you how to edit and publish your works in the blog and what you need to remember when drafting, revising and editing them. Do you know the difference b/w them by the way?

I'll also give you some tips that can help you write your works easier and enjoy it more.

Overall, I hope you will find this course both interesting and useful and will enjoy taking it.
