SUMMARY:HYBRID: Writing your Research: Thesis Argument II (Humanities)
DESCRIPTION: \n\nAbout this workshop\n\nYou must have attended Part 1 to 
 attend this workshop.\n\nPart 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.\n\n \n\nNB: If you wish to attend in person and have 
 disability access requirements\, please email disabilityservice@uct.ac.za 
 and CC pgdevelopment@uct.ac.za to arrange the appropriate services\, where 
 available.\n\n \n\nWhat previous attendees have said about this 
 workshop:\n\n\n	"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."\n	"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."\n	"Its excellent\, could all the sessions be in person!! "\n\n\n
