When:
—
Venue:
Birkbeck Main Building, Malet Street
Learn the academic conventions of formality, objective tone, cautious language and ways to avoid saying ‘I’ in your assignments.
What is academic writing like? How can I write in an academic way? Why can’t I say ‘I’ or state my opinions? What is cautious ‘hedging’ language? This workshop will cover the academic conventions of formality, neutral tone, cautious language and ways to avoid saying ‘I’, including ways to express objectivity.
This workshop will repeat on Saturday 7th September and Tuesday 10th September.
Please note these workshops are open to Birkbeck College students only.

Study skills workshops for all students also run throughout the academic year.
