And this one is highly recommended by my lead supervisor. I find this book really helpful for going back over those difficult ideas and concepts.

If you are able to arrange any group work then I would thoroughly recommend using Jenny Moon’s reflective writing exercise “The Park”. cetl.org.uk/UserFiles/Fi... Great for understanding reflective writing and a step towards a meta cognitive approach to academic writing.

The Only Academic Phrasebook You’ll Even Need helped me understand academic terms and phrases, and Turabian’s A Manual for Writers (Ninth Edition) helped me write my thesis proposal and dissertation.

On Writing Well by W. Zinsser and Several Short Sentences About Writing by V. Knlinkenborg. While not strictly academic texts, these really helped me stylistically in grad school.
