Tips and Tricks session on academic writing at postgraduate level

On Wednesday 16 October the Writers' Circle went 'mainstream' in the Block Release period and Lynn facilitated a session with students as part of the Research Methodology subject. The session was entitled 'tips and tricks' and sought to introduce a few writing strategies that could help students enhance the clarity and sophistication of their academic writing. Unfortunately because of time constraints the few strategies we were able to discussion like, cohesion and cohensive devices, using reporting verbs and approaches to in-text referencing, were merely introduced, rather than practiced. In our next Writers' Circle (23 October) students will have more time to play around with implementing these strategies in their own writing. 

The slides are available here and additional resources will be uploaded to the blog on these topics.
