Academic Writing Workshops, weeks 1-3

Uncategorized.

So far, the workshops have looked at understanding your assignment, assignment structure, and time management and procrastination.

The handouts are on our moodle course, in the ‘Workshop materials’ section. If you haven’t already enrolled on the course, you’ll be automatically asked to enrol when you look at the handouts.

If you can’t make it to the workshops, I’ve created some videos which contain the slides from the workshop, plus a recorded commentary to explain what they mean.

Week 1: understanding your assignment

Week 2: assignment structure

No week 3 yet due to storm destruction! In the meantime, any comments are welcome.

PS Is having the workshops 13:00 – 14:00 ok for most people? If there are other times which would be more suitable, please let me know here, or via academiclearningsupport@city.ac.uk or @CityUniLS.

Thanks

Richard
