Writing your MICT: An introduction - 24 July 2019

Great to meet everyone yesterday afternoon. A key question students were asked to consider was 'How do you think of yourself as a writer?' This short reflective written activity generated some vibrant discussions and laughter as participants recounted their multiple reading, writing and language experiences. An important take-away from this short task - everyone brought crucial language, writing and reading resources to their studies. Hopefully many put aside 30 minutes to further develop this emerging picture of themselves as writer.

NEXT TIME

Writers' Circle - Wednesday, 31 July 2019 from 4:30pm in the IT Building (venue to be found!)

Possible topic discussions:

• sharing reflective pieces on yourself as academic writer
• what your course readings 'reveal' about the reading, writing, academic practices expected

24 July Slides

Welcome

This online space was created to serve as a virtual meeting place for all students completing their masters in ICT in the Information Technology department at CPUT. Here, attention will be placed on academic and research writing and your journey through the masters programme, as you navigate your way through the different written tasks associated with your studies.

On the website you will find information about the face-to-face activities and writers' circle group you can attend. There will also be a host of online resources about academic and research writing that you might want to consult as you embark on the different written assignments and tasks required by the course. The site will develop as you move through the course - so expect changes and additions as the weeks progress.

May your writing and learning journey be productive and fulfilling...
