Introduction to Critical Writing


Critical writing is essential in academic and professional contexts as
it encourages deep thinking, logical reasoning, and objective
evaluation. Unlike descriptive writing, which only presents facts,
critical writing goes beyond by questioning, analyzing, and
synthesizing information.
It is commonly used in essays, research papers, reviews, and
reports where evidence-based reasoning is necessary.

inconsistencies.

Concluding with Insights – Summarizing findings and suggesting
implications.
