– the paper is not about personal opinion or personal experience. Do not argue for your personal point-of-view.
– the paper is written in the third person (see green section, below), is objective, and is based upon material gathered from your sources.
Writing in the Third Person
Firstly, the difference between first person, second person and third person is the same as if the speaker or writer says, I, you, or him. This is sometimes referred to as a grammatical person or point of view. In most cases of academic and formal writing, avoid writing in the first or second person. Secondly, if a person is speaking or writing in the first person, he or she is talking about himself or herself. The first person would be acceptable in academic writing if a writer were being asked to provide a personal opinion.
The second person is just the opposite of the first person in that instead of referring to ‘I,’ the speaker is referring to ‘you,’ meaning the reader or the person being spoken to directly. The second person is not a reference used much in formal writing, but may be used in technical writing applications, such as giving instructions. If a person is writing in the third person, the speaker or writer is referring to ‘he,’ ‘she,’ ‘they,’ or ‘them.’ Most academic writing is done in the third person.
