Cottrell 2A9,
This session will be run as a workshop and will raise students’ awareness
of the conventions of academic writing through small group discussions. The areas of academic writing
which will be highlighted will include the importance of inter and intra
paragraph linking; cohesion of texts through the use of cohesive devices;
summarising; synthesising information from different source material; critical
analysis and thinking.
A secondary topic for this session will be the potential problems and misunderstandings between a supervisor and his/her supervisee due to a lack of cultural understanding between them. Expectations from each may differ due to this. Through small and whole group discussion, possible solutions may be found.
