Assignment: Using the First Person in Research Writing
The use of personal pronouns (I, my, or we) in scholarly writing is an area of great contention in academia. Some say that the use of personal pronouns is a way of asserting your writer's voice. However, others will discount the use of personal pronouns as inappropriate.
Your course textbook (Ridley, 2008) suggests that one way to assert your writer's voice is to use personal pronouns in your scholarly writings. Additionally, the APA Style Manual recommends using "I" rather than the third person. However, the use of personal pronouns is often discouraged in academic writings.
In this assignment, you will explore the pros and cons of using personal pronouns in research writing.
