February 5 @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm
Writing effective titles & abstracts
Your title and abstract almost always determine whether your readers will engage with the rest of your work. In this workshop, we’ll discuss and demonstrate cross-disciplinary strategies for writing compelling titles and abstracts for your articles, course papers, theses, and more.
Writing effective introductions
Whether you’re writing a journal manuscript, coursework, or beginning your thesis, the introduction is crucial. It’s where you state why your work matters, highlight the key questions, problems, or gaps, and outline how you plan to address them. This workshop will teach key models and linguistic strategies you can use to craft introductions that engage readers and set the stage for the rest of your work.
This workshop is held online. You will be given the link 1-2 days before the event.
