Writing development workshops for academic writing

Philosophy News

As part of your provision and education, Philosophy has organized a workshop for skills in academic writing. There will be one workshop for stage 1 students and a joint session for stages 2 and 3. We are also interested in organizing a workshop responding to your own needs (how to use sources, interpretation, critical writing for example). After you have attended these, and have some ideas for a follow up session, please feel free to drop us a line.

Stage 1  – ‘Approaching your first assignment: authorial voice’

Room: BEDB.1.75

Date: Wednesday 7TH December

Time: 12-1

Stages 2 & 3 – ‘Stepping up: enhancing your work at the next level’

Room: BSTC.1.46

Date: Friday 9th December

Time: 10-11

Attendance is compulsory and bear in mind these sessions are really worthwhile.
