Event details
This session is part of a series of four interconnected workshops, while it is encouraged to attend all four sessions, they can be attended individually.
Module Two helps participants write more efficiently and effectively by:
- Uncovering the implicitly expected patterns in Introductions, Conclusions and Abstracts, which then become models to help participants write, think, and persuade more effectively and efficiently
- Appropriately exploring participants’ feelings about writing to increase effective drafting by reducing possible psychological barriers
- Featuring a 1 hour Writing Work Out, in which participants learn and apply simple writing strategies to help them ‘warm-up’ and calm anxieties; ‘work out’ by outlining the large, medium, and small-scale structures of their article/thesis; ‘cool down’ by setting themselves up for the next time they write.
