Academic Writing Resources

Style, Transitions, and Commonly Confused Words

Use these to bring your writing to the next level. Academic readers want to be guided easily through your essay so they can think about the content of it rather than having to think about how it is put together. Help make your reader's experience of your essay smooth by using transitions. Also be sure that you are using the right word in the right situation; commonly confused words confuse the best writers, so be aware (and beware).
