Academic Discourse and Genre

This blog post will explore the journal I explored in my previous blog posts in more depth.

How Many Different Kinds of Genre are in This Journal?

When I looked through the journal, I could only find one genre: QRG.

3 Different genres

I could not find anymore than 1 genre in my particular academic journal, but the difference between a QRG and an essay, for example, is that  QRG uses bullet points, white space, and pictures to maintain the readers attention.

Personal Definition of Genre

QRG- a short condensed standard essay.

A QRG is factual and to the point. It is supposed to be used as a "quick reference" that also provides outside information to allow the reader to delve more in to the topic if they wish to do so.
