Academic writing.

      Murray (2008) outlines six specific functions of academic writing. These include defining, describing, comparing and contrasting, classifying, explaining causes and effects, and developing an argument. These are used at different phases of the writing process. Choose two functions of academic writing. Using the Murray chapter as a guide, complete the following tasks relative to those functions. Provide your written responses in a single document file, which you should upload by the end of this module.
