Event details
This session is part of a series of 4 interconnected workshops, while it is encouraged to attend all 4 sessions, they can be attended individually.
Module 1 uses participatory activities to explore what is meant by ‘logical argument’ by:
- clarifying ‘first principles’, such as what actually is ‘research’ and ‘academic writing’
- examining how English ‘works’ in terms of the 1 Fact and 4 (implicit) Influences that have shaped what constitutes a logical argument
- showing participants a simple yet fundamental organising principle to create clarity – itself a vital feature for publication – at different structural levels from the sentence to the article or thesis.
