HYBRID: Writing about Data (Science)
About this workshop
This workshop will guide students through the considerations, principles, and process of writing up their research, from methods to conclusions, with a focus on developing alignment across sections.
- Describing methods
- Presenting results
- Discussing your findings
- Developing a conclusion
This workshop (4 of 6) 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 will suggest you create more awareness of the workshop for all post-graduate students. I just lucky to hear about it from a friend."
- "Keep up the good work!!"
NB: 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.
