My program says my writing is too informal. What does that mean?

Usually contractions, first person where it is not invited, clinical shorthand, and unsupported assertions. Charting rewards brevity and abbreviation. Academic writing rewards full forms, hedged claims and citations. They are different registers and switching between them is a skill.

This comes up on RN to BSN Coursework Support, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
