Week 8 focused on the differences between critical thinking and descriptions and how important they are in academic writing. One task we completed was seeing which descriptions was applicable to either critical analysis or description.

While completing this task I found I had a clear understanding between what critical analysis and a description is and how to apply this to my work and relative tasks. This was a confidence boost for me as I have realised I have been really critical of myself and my work over the last few weeks and little wins like this which may seem insignificant are the little motivation boosts I need to carry on.

We then went on to look at why critical thinking is important in our academic writing as well as correct language you should use.
