Use academic vocabulary as much as possible. Use your key terms and avoid contractions and personal pronouns.

Definitely avoid using contractions and personal pronouns. In general, you should focus on writing concisely without repeating the same words too many times. Check your use of conjuctions and transition words and make sure there is some variety. Remember, vocabulary is a very small part of your overall mark on any given paper. It's more important that your communicated message and analysis itself is clear.

Make sure you use clear phrases to lead the reader into the source if you are quoting. Some examples are As it is shown by "quote source", [Name of writer] argues that "quote source", So and So demonstrates that [paraphrase source in your own words]. After that, advance your argument by using clear and concrete language that shows how the source supports your argument. Try not to be to casual. Don't write how you would speak; like, I mean, don't use slang and stuff (this will infuriate teachers). Your argument should be clear and to the point.
