Academic Writing (Subject, Topic, and Title)

Writing is a skill that inquire hard work; therefore, to be a writer, someone has to enforce her/himself to practice a lot. It doesn't only happen to the novice writer but also expert one. Well, in this program, the students are trained to master the academic writing since we deal with academic purpose. Handling by a previous lecturer (Dr. Ingnatius Harjanto), this subject helps us to make writing for academic purposes, especially articles in journal, research reports, and thesis one.
Subject, Topic, and Title was the material on the first meeting (July 18, 2006). Subject is described as a general idea of interest, the matter of pieces of writing what it is about. While topic is a subject taht has been narrowed so taht it can be covered thoroughly. The topic must be clear to the writer before begin to write. The last title indicates the content of essay, be catchy in order to help the readers' interest and attention, gives the readers a general understanding of the content of paper.
At the end of lecture, the students are assigned to choose a topic then narrow it down into a title, make some statements or sentences about the title for different audiences (submitted on July 25, 2006)
