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.
For students who cannot attend, the resources from this workshop can be found in the Birkbeck Study Skills Moodle module (login required), along with many other study skills resources.
This workshop is an Academic Writing Workshop run by the central Birkbeck Study Skills service. All students from any Birkbeck school are welcome to attend.
Please note that this workshop will be advertised on the Birkbeck room booking screens as 'Academic Writing Workshop'.
