The effectiveness of this malaria vaccine has been a subject of controversy.
‘Malaria vaccine’ will be understood by medical students, while ‘effectiveness’ and ‘controversy’
are general academic vocabulary that all students need to understand.
In your writing, you must make sure you use general vocabulary common to most disciplines. You write your essay to an educated reader with no specialist knowledge. This means you can use a specific word in your subject area providing they are combined with general vocabulary so that a reader can comprehend the meaning of your arguments. @Insight_English adapted from: Academic Writing.

2021-09-03 17:09:49 I feel sorry for national universities of Uzbekistan which are dependant on DTM to decide who will study at universities. With obsolete testing and assessment system, all these university entrance exam processes carried out by DTM have already proved to be a subject of reconsideration. There is no parallel experience where universities have to wait for one organization to reveal the results for them. All over the world, universities decide their own entrance procedures for applicants. I think it is a shame for national universities and for the whole higher education system of Uzbekistan. @Insight_English Open / Comment
