Description
This four day workshop aims to provide an introduction to the writing skills required for producing and organising information in theses and dissertations. Various topics about writing theses and dissertations will be discussed, such as the role of the reader, style, internal and external structure, coherence, argumentation, as well as how to write specific sections of a thesis or dissertation. However, the purpose of the workshop is not to furnish participants with a recipe or rigid writing ‘rules’ but rather to provide guidelines about using different writing strategies to effectively convey information, data and arguments.
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.
