What They Don't Tell You About Academic Writing
Wednesday, August 28th, 1:00pm - 2:30pm PT/ 4:00pm - 5:30pm ET
Especially in Masters and Doctoral programs, courses and assignments often assume that students know the unspoken expectations of the genre, but these are often not made explicit and clear. This introduction to academic writing explains some of those unspoken principles and expectations in the American academic context, and offers some suggestions for effective process.
Facilitated by John Dunham, VWC Director.
Writing and Answerable Research Question
Tuesday, September 17th, 10:00am - 11:00am PT/ 1:00pm - 2:00pm ET
This workshop will discuss what it means to ask an answerable question in the context of a project or dissertation. We'll consider common pitfalls (e.g., vagueness, broadness, mismatch with available methods or time) as well as discuss some fundamental concepts to consider in framing a question: who the question asks about, what kind of pattern it investigates, what hidden assumptions it has or builds on, and how difficult it will be to answer.
Facilitated by John Dunham, VWC Director
