Writing Effectively
Online
*** This event is for NWSSDTP and NWCDTP funded students only ***
Presented by Dr Simon Watts
This session will consider the basic elements of effective academic writing and how they can be combined to ensure the best chance of success. Issues covered will include preparation (targeted literature reviewing, taking a ‘position’ as an author, and the creation of a preliminary draft), the task of writing (having clear aims, order and structure, signposting, and guiding the reader), writing style (the achievement of clarity and simplicity) and the need for a clear, logical and straightforward conclusion or ‘take-home’ message. Approaches to editing will also be considered. This session represents almost two decades of academic writing experience packed into two hours, so come along and take advantage!
This event will be held online and joining instructions will be sent separately
