About academic writing quizzes
GoConqr OriginalAcademic writing quizzes: where to begin
Start with Principles of Academic Writing if you want to check your understanding of objective and conversational language. For a focus on working with research, Literature Reviews asks about the purpose of a review and its relationship with existing literature.
Practice with sources
Information Integration Quiz asks about summarizing and problems that can arise when a summary is unclear. Referencing and Plagiarism covers giving credit and using direct quotations. You can also find quizzes on APA, Harvard and MLA formatting and referencing.
Use the quizzes as part of your study
Choose a skill and work through a quiz on it. If a question reveals something you want to study further, switch to a mind map or notes on the Academic Writing unit page, then return to a quiz on that skill. For essay structure, Week 5 Practice Quiz asks about the parts of a five-paragraph essay.
Pick a skill to explore and see which quiz fits your study.
