Writing skills: Dissertations 3 - The writing-up stage
When:
—
Venue:
Online
This workshop focuses on the later 'writing up' stages of the dissertation writing process, with a particular focus on the literature review and discussion sections, as well as connecting the various sections from introduction to conclusion. It will be more relevant to students who have already begun their dissertation research process and and are engaged in the later stages of writing up their dissertation research.
Earlier workshops in this series focus on the preliminary 'planning and preparation' stages of the dissertation research and writing process, and thinking about how to structure a longer research document.
Although the workshop will be helpful for dissertation writers from any discipline, the workshop will particularly focus on empirical research dissertations. Empirical research is usually found in scientific, social science and vocational subjects, and such dissertations use questionnaires, surveys, lab experiments and other methods to gather original data, and follow a formal report structure, rather than primarily researching from secondary literature, books and journals.
The workshop is primarily aimed at postgraduate students, but undergraduate students may also find it helpful.
The slides and a recording of this workshop will be found in the Birkbeck Study Skills Moodle Module, in the Writing Skills Resources section under 'Dissertations'
