Writing skills: Writing a dissertation
When:
—
Venue:
Online
This workshop concentrates the process of planning and writing up a dissertation.
Although the workshop will be helpful for dissertation writers from any discipline, the workshop will primarily focus on empirical research dissertations. Empirical research is usually found in scientific, social science and vocational subjects, and such dissertations use questionnaires, surveys, lab experiments and other methods to gather original data, and follow a formal report structure, rather than primarily researching from secondary literature, books and journals.
The workshop will cover:
- managing the writing process,
- dissertation structures
- literature reviews
- planning your writing
The workshop is primarily aimed at postgraduate students, but undergraduate students or phd researchers may also find it helpful.
