Reading and Writing Skills
Mastering Academic Literacy
Our workshops in term 3 have been prepared with dissertation writing in mind. However, they are equally beneficial for students tackling different types of assignment. The content includes skills for making effective use of sources including synthesis and voice, and also skills and strategies for writing specific elements of assignments such as literature reviews, methodologies, and discussions.
There are two suites of workshops to choose from - each comprises 7 sessions.
