Mastering the WRite Stuff™ [online]

Introducing the prequel to Finish that thesis!^TM, the aim of the two-full day Zoom program is to help you establish the foundations necessary to write RIGHT, right now, and ultimately, write that thesis. Led by Learning Advisors, the program covers writing for journal articles and other academic writing outputs.

Aside from covering the academic writing principles through the physical act of writing, the program also focuses on building resilience and perserverance in writing, by introducing discipline to the practice of writing. In short, the program’s aim is to help you develop a writing habit, and there’s no better way of achieving that than just diving straight into your writing.

Target audience

Preference will be given to candidates who are coming up to or just past Progress Review 2 (Mid-Candidature Review).

Workshop objectives

• Start a writing habit through short writing outputs e.g., papers, journal articles to prepare you for the big one - your thesis!
