Description
This four day workshop is aimed at SU postgraduate students writing their literature reviews – whether as part of a research proposal, a thesis, or as an independent article. Various issues about writing a literature review will be addressed, such as the different types of literature reviews and ways of organising information in literature reviews. Also, how to effectively integrate information in a literature review while touching on issues regarding plagiarism and referencing will be discussed. The workshop will provide participants with the opportunity to refine their literature reviews in an interactive, practical way and to receive answers about how to appropriately integrate source sand develop their own academic voices.
Please note: This is a workshop, not a presentation. Participants will be required to work together and to discuss aspects of textual construction with each other.
