About this workshop

Being able to write up a comprehensive research report into a concise, accurate and clear Abstract is an art that requires its own knowledge and skill.  This online workshop aims to expose post graduate students with the various types of Abstracts along with strategies for writing up an Abstract.  The workshop expects to have students generate a completed Abstract going through key components, style, and genre requirements in Abstract writing.  The workshop will provide strategies to write an abstract that is accurate, concise, and clear.
