Writing Focus
Microsoft Teams

This event has been organised by Researcher Development. For any enquiries, please contact pgresearchskills@warwick.ac.uk.

 

 

Writing Focus

Have you a chapter/ paper/ article that you need to get on and write?

Are you procrastinating or stuck? Need time commitment or feedback?

The Writing Focus sessions offer you both.

 

Turn up and write in 25-minute chunks, taking a short break in between. This focussed group activity keeps you on task, accountable and productive.

Or are you needing some feedback or advice on grammar, paragraph sign posting or argument construction. Then book yourself 20 minutes with our writing tutor who will help you get back writing.

 

(You can also give yourself some focussed reading time as well)

Bring your current project, your current problem and have 90 minutes of constructive, productive work.

Representing other research fairly, organising your reading, filling the gap (Writing Series )
Microsoft Teams

Even though we all know that positioning our work in the context of pre-existing research is important, it can also be overwhelming. In this workshop, we will discuss how to make sure that we understand and correctly represent the research that we read. We will discuss how to think about our research as filling a gap and look at some useful words and phrases. We will also share our experience of organising information. One activity in this workshop will ask you to make and discuss a mind map of your reading so far.
