Today we discussed different writing styles in preparation for the first essay.
It became apparent that a certain balance between the academic and the vernacular was preferable. On the one hand, any quotes should be rigorously referenced to back up (or disprove) your argument but on the other hand there was every danger of sending your tutor to sleep if the tone was too dry and removed from personal experience. Spacing, font, paragraphs and grammar all have their part to play here. Also an awareness of the audience, as it were.
This followed a very honest presentation by M who spoke candidly about how he has altered in his relationships since beginning the course.
