Venue:
Online
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.
Even when we have relatively well-developed writing skills, there are still things we can do to improve the clarity and style of our writing. This workshop presents the fundamentals of sentence structure, including ways to improve sentences in terms of length, and clarity. It will also cover correct punctuation usage, including how to use the most common punctuation marks correctly.
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.)
This workshop will repeat on Saturday 26th and Monday 28th September.
