I had opportunity to chair Parallel Session 2 which is on "Research and Media Ethics".
This paper, "In that Meeting the Global Standards for Academic Writing: A Case
of Postgraduate Students’ Theses Writing at Daystar University" presented
by Prof Rebecca Oladipo of Daystar University, Kenya stirred an intensive
debate on the quality of academic writing in Africa.
It is evidence that postgraduate students'
academic writing in Africa is below global standard. Therefore, there is an urgent
call for improvement in postgraduate students writing capability. Universities postgraduate education should emphasis
and teach global writing standard.
What is your opinion?
