From 19th February, we will be running two programmes of writing workshops.

The first programme is on types of assignment. These workshops will cover common assignment types, such as essays and reports, as well as more unusual ones, such as poster presentations, and annotated bibliographies.

The second programme looks at dissertation writing skills, including an overview of common dissertation structures, reviewing the literature, and discussing your results.

• you do not need to book: you can simply turn up on the day
• the workshops will be suitable for both undergraduate and postgraduate students
• the workshop handouts and materials will be available on our moodle course, with supplementary materials; if you can’t make it to any of the workshops, there will also be a video recording of each workshop

Details of both programmes are below. If you have any questions, please leave a comment, or email us: academiclearningsupport@city.ac.uk.
