This resource is aimed at those new to postgraduate studies and focuses on learning, referencing and developing research, thinking, reading and critical writing skills.
It consists of a series of short workshops (15 minutes long) revolving around 'Effective completion of dissertations'
This workshop is aimed at people who are new to postgraduate study and focuses on active learning, referencing and developing a critical response to research, thinking, reading and writing.
Is your research aim achievable, and what are the merits of pursuing it? These are two questions that this workshop considers, as we work through the process of generating a research question from an initial topic choice.
This workshop explores the notion of a ‘research audit’ as a means of identifying the stages that you will need to work through in order to successfully manage your research project to completion.
In this workshop we explore the purpose of literature reviews and consider how the review is located within your research. We consider also how to shape an authoritative stance towards the literature and how to organise your review to maximum effect.
What makes a good abstract? This workshop aims to answer this question by comparing abstracts from different disciplines and then drawing conclusions about core features.
This workshop explores the function of written introductions and the moves that writers make when introducing their work to their readers.
