About this workshop

You must have attended Part 1 to attend this workshop.

Part 2 on working with thesis arguments aims to extend student understanding and application of key claims and assumptions on own field / topic of research.  Through strategic hands-on activities the workshop affords students the opportunity to develop aligned sections and subsections for approaching the literature review and methodology sections / chapters.  Students should expect to draw up a general structure and outline towards extrapolating the study’s research questions, working on their own literature reviews for clarity and coherence of argumentation.

What previous attendees have said about this workshop:

• "I've been feeling overwhelmed with the perspectives of other researchers in my field as well as the voices of my research participants. I like the fact that I was reminded that this is my research study and my voice counts just as much as anyone else's."
• "I've been struggling with my writing, so even though the workshop looked at Writing one's Argument, it essentially helped me re-look at my entire process."
• "Its excellent, could all the sessions be in person!! "
