Academic Writing in English for PhD students
Are you a PhD student? Are you in the process of writing a PhD thesis or academic article and do you need help navigating the ins and outs of good academic writing? If you answered yes to one of these questions, this course is for you.
What will you learn?
During this course, you will become familiar with all the skills needed to write and edit an academic paper for publication. Each week, a specific topic is presented, and participants share knowledge and learn new skills through interactive discussion. The course also allows for a deeper analysis of academic writing through the writing, reviewing and editing of different assignments. In addition, each week participants will read, and peer review the work of one or more students.
The classes will be online and consist of a mix of live interaction and individual work. Aside from the class, participants are expected to spend approximately two to three hours a week on preparation and self-study. These courses consist of six group sessions of three hours each and one individual session at the end of the course. The components of this course include:
- The writing process for each section of a paper
- Formulating arguments and presenting data
- Clear organisation and coherence throughout the text
- Writing clear and concise paragraphs
- Structure and discourse
- Writing correct English at sentence level (including grammar, style and vocabulary)
- The use of sources (summarizing, paraphrasing, quoting, and referencing)
