ABSTRACT
Effective written work is more conventionally formal and has well-organized ideas, good sentence structure, and conventional grammar and spelling. In Chapter 1, the authors discuss why it is important to communicate effectively in writing. The key areas covered include principles of cultural competence in writing, and additional meanings to consider in written assignments and forms of communication more broadly. The authors highlight important aspects of writing a paper, explaining the importance of understanding the assignment and providing strategies to draft and edit your paper and cite published sources.
