It is acceptable to include personal pronouns and phrases such as 'I think' and 'In my opinion' in academic writing.
Yes, as this is showing my opinion and that's how I've done in the past.
No, because it is not considered as an appropriate style in academia.
No, but it can be reworded easily in an impersonal way to show that it's a more objective view point.
