Writing problems

• Writing too much
• Rewriting – never completed because it’s always being re-hashed.
• Assuming prior knowledge. Written above the target audience
• Talking down. (Written too simplistically).
• Use of Jargon
• Poor grammer
• Extensive quotes. (Brings into question whether any new material is actually presented)
• Using big words.
