Academic Writing Workshop SPS

How these workshops are organised

These workshops are designed to meet your academic writing needs, so the content can be adapted according to what you want to work on. Each two-hour session will have a different theme based around a particular aspect of your writing that you, and your teacher, have identified as important for your progress. We expect that you will have the opportunity to work in detail on your own writing and to get feedback on it from both your teachers and the other researchers in the workshop.

What you will learn

At the end of the workshop series you will

• have a better understanding of particular areas of writing for Political Science that need further work and development
• have furthered your knowledge of key language areas (including grammar and vocabulary)
• have identified strategies for how to progress effectively with your academic writing in general
• have had the opportunity to ask and discuss questions relevant to a particular piece of writing that you are working on
