This is one part of a series of three online events, ‘Fundamentals of Academic Writing: Foundational Principles and Practical Strategies for International Publication, or ‘How to Write a Paper, not a Lab Report’! that runs Thursdays 05, 12 and 19 May.

Presenter: Dr Matt Lane, The Researcher Development Partnership Cambridge

With an increased workload often characterising 2nd year + PhD life, an obvious question to ask is: How do I improve my writing strategies to help me with my PhD and beyond?! This is a practical, pragmatic and interactive three-workshop course.

The third workshop, Effective Editing, helps participants to make their writing clear by:

• showing them a range of practical, time-efficient strategies to help them edit their work effectively

• deepening and embedding participants’ understanding of how to write clearly by revisiting the principles presented in our workshop, part one.

• examining, through practical examples, two fundamental features of academic language – Nominalisations and Hedging – to help participants use them effectively and with confidence.

**The intended audience for this course is 2 year + PhDs; while it might be particularly useful to international researchers who have English as an additional language, it has been revelatory for those who have English as their first language and went through the British education system.

Note: while each workshop is the foundation for the next, they are also sufficiently self-contained. Participants will gain most benefit from these sessions if they are able to attend all three events. Subject to availability, you will need to sign up for each individual session - (registration link is available above).

The RDF Ref: This workshop offers opportunities to develop skills in Creativity, particularly 'Argument construction' and Communication and Dissemination, as outlined in the RDF subdomains A3 and D2.
