Editing Your Own Academic Writing
Are you horrified by the thought of confronting your own work? Have you left it to the last minute, secretly hoping it's better than you think? Although editing feels overwhelming, it's much easier when you adopt a systematic approach and develop a structured plan.
Through activities and tutorials, this interactive workshop provides you with a clear strategy for turning that messy draft into a structured piece of writing.
With the help of an experienced facilitator, you'll break the process down into more manageable chunks. You'll also
get the opportunity to apply the techniques to a piece of writing.
Here's what we'll cover:
- Working out how much time you need for editing.
- Improving structure.
- Signposting your argument.
- Maintaining consistency, clarity, and connections.
- Amplifying your academic voice.
- Proofreading your own work.
