Academic skills workshop: Critical writing
When:
—
Venue:
Online
- Have you had feedback from your tutor stating that you need to be ‘more critical’ or that your writing is too ‘descriptive’?
- Are you unsure what ‘being critical’ means?
- Would you benefit from guidance on how to show criticality in your writing?
If you said yes to any of the above questions, then join us in this workshop. We’ll learn about the fundamentals of critical writing - what it is, why it is important, and how to do it. We’ll draw upon extracts from essays to identify and analyse the features of effective critical writing. By the end of the workshop, you will better understand what critical thinking is and how to demonstrate it in your academic writing.
This workshop is for Birkbeck students. Book your place in My Birkbeck / Events and Workshops (not sure how to do that? Watch this short video guide!). If you use the link above to book, please use your Birkbeck student email address to sign up - thanks!
