I am Used to Using High level words to impress my teachers. Is this a good idea?
I ask this question to get members to think about the following: there are two kinds of "high level words." There is, in other words, a difference between SCIENTIFIC WORDS and POETIC WORDS... Discuss... :-)

Do You Need a "Hook"?
QUESTION FOR DISCUSSION: A lot of instructors tell you your writing should begin with a "hook"? Do you agree? If you read published academic articles, do they begin with a hook, or do they start with a bland description of the study that will then later be described in the body of the paper? Which is better?

The key point is just that: WHO IS THE AUDIENCE. It is probably a good idea to ask your professor directly what they prefer. Also, you need to consider what kind of course you might be in. If you're in a creative writing course, I'd say, yes, you need a hook or some kind of "interest generator." If you're in an engineering course, I'd have to say I can't really imagine it being appropriate!!!
