Thesis writing workshops by FASoS academic writing advisor John Harbord - In May, FASoS academic writing advisor, John Harbord, will be offering three workshops on thesis writing. These workshops are principally directed at third year BA students, but MA students who would like to attend are free to do so. The workshops take place on Monday 9, Monday 12 and Thursday 19 May from 09.00-10.30 at the Attic of Grote Gracht 80-82. Please register beforehand with John Harbord if you would like to attend.
There are three workshops in total, you may attend any or all of these workshops.
Workshop 1: Writing your introduction
Monday 9 May, 9.00, in GG80-82 3.002 - Attic
Using a model based on research, and samples from published articles, you will draft the introduction to your thesis and receive peer feedback on your writing.
Workshop 2: Relating to the literature
Thursday 12 May, 9.00, in GG80-82 Attic
Looking at examples from published work we will explore the different roles of others’ work in the thesis. You will rationalise the debate and the role of literature in your own thesis and receive feedback.
Workshop 3: Structuring the thesis
Thursday 19 May, 9.00, in GG80-82 Attic
We will reflect on the principles of structuring academic work and guiding the reader through your thesis using appropriate lexical indicators, and put these into practice.
Not more than 35 people can be accommodated in the Attic. For this reason only, registration beforehand with John Harbord is necessary. If you have not registered, you may still come at 9.00, but in the (very unlikely) event that the maximum capacity is exceeded, you may not be able to stay.
