Academic Writing vs. Non-Academic Writing

Introduction

Academic writing is typically found in a post-secondary setting where experts have produced works based on research and used others’ work to validate their findings. These also tend to be peer-reviewed works that are reliable and can be proven. On the other hand, non-academic writing would typically appear in a “magazine-like” work that is usually written by non-experts for the purpose to entertain, inform or persuade you to believe in something or buy something. For this course, you will be producing academic writing by including various other peer-reviewed materials to support your point.
