Get Ahead, Stay Ahead is a series of eight presessional study skills and writing workshops, designed to help you prepare for university before the beginning of term. Each 2 hour session consists of an hour-long lecture/workshop with activities, a 15-minute practice activity and a 45 minute 'skills clinic' for questions and discussion.
This workshop can help you structure your writing and the flow of your argument by focusing on paragraph structure, transition statements and signposting language to link together your ideas.
Good academic writing leads the reader through your argument; this workshop will help make your writing flow, by focusing on paragraph structure, cohesion and signposting language. We will also address other ways of joining paragraphs and connecting ideas.
This online workshop will take place on a Blackboard Collaborate link within the Birkbeck Study Skills Moodle Module. If you have booked, you will be emailed another link as a reminder to your registered email address. (But please remember to check your junk mail.)
