IN PERSON: Becoming a confident Scientific Writer
About this workshop
This workshop will orientate students towards the research writing process and introduce them to important principals and practices for effective academic writing:
- Establishing your writing process
- The research writing process
- Engaging with feedback and peer-review
- Concept mapping your topic
- Writing an introduction
This workshop (1 of 4) can be attended as a ‘standalone’ session; however, it is most valuably experienced as part of the full series, which navigates through the research process.
What previous attendees have said about this workshop:
- "I think it was a great workshop. I really liked that the presenter had tips on formulating an introduction. She's really good."
- "The Value of Feedback and Peer-view was done so well. I learned that you can take the initiative with your supervisors to obtain constructive criticisms. The section was presented really well."
- "I'm less afraid to start writing. Also, I plan on writing concurrently with my research instead of rushing last minute."
